It doesn't happen simply by having Compositor Killer open; it happens whene=
ver
Compositor Killer is opened and there are other animations happening on the
desktop, for example, opening Kicker or doing other things in Plasma Shell.
I've noticed it with games: if there's a game running and it causes KWin to
slow down in any way, if you open up stuff like the Kicker and move the mou=
se,
the mouse will lag. I remember this not happening at all in older Plasma 6.x
releases.=20

And I know FOR A FACT hardware cursors weren't a thing in plasma's wayland
session history years ago. I can go back to those times by disabling the
hardware cursor completely using the KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR environment varia=
ble
and experience the same thing I experienced when i first used Plasma's Wayl=
and
session in the early days in early Plasma 5.x releases. I'm not talking abo=
ut
KWIN_X11; I'm talking about KWIN_WAYLAND. In X11 you don't get cursor lag AT
ALL.
