Think I found it. The new version of triple buffering in mutter 44.0 is
too aggressive at scaling back to double buffering. So that's why 22.04
and 22.10 felt faster on Pi than 23.04 does right now.
The workaround is to add this to /etc/environment:
MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
On a Raspberry Pi 400, GNOME Shell runs at 30 FPS unless the CPU is
being stressed in which case it becomes a smooth 60 FPS. Seems like a
frequency scaling issue.
