On Wayland, frame latency can be reduced by making the compositor render as late as possible before a vblank. This allows the compositor to show the latest frame available, just in time for the screen refresh. This guide describes how to configure this for certain compositors.
Looking Glass can also be made to render right before the compositor renders, further reducing latency. This is what the <code>win:jitRender</code> setting does on Wayland. The timing of this is also controlled by the compositor, and thus the configuration is compositor-specific.

On Sway, this is controlled by the <code>max_render_time</code> setting. The <code>max_render_time</code> setting on the output controls how many millisecond the compositor renders before the vblank. Setting <code>max_render_time</code> on the window controls how many milliseconds the compositor tells windows to render.
