Cinnamon vs Gnome performance

I'm actually running Debian 13 with Gnome desktop, on an entry-level AMD laptop. Gnome global performance for web browsing (firefox) and gaming (small steam games) is ok but I'm wondering if I can get a bit more performance with LMDE 7 + Cinnamon. What's your experience on this ? I fear X11 may be slower than Wayland.
