Are there any videos of the movement of windows? Trying to gauge if it’s sluggish or not.

It is using llvmpipe which is a LLVM-based software renderer, so it will be sluggish than what everyone here is used to which is direct rendering manager hardware acceleration. The graphics drivers are not there yet.

Hence this, don't expect graphical elements or graphics intensive software to be any faster than other systems using accelerated graphics right now.

It looks like that's no longer true: https://twitter.com/alyssarzg/status/1429583864679129098

"Up until now both the Asahi and Corellium kernels were on #1. Sven and the #dri-devel crew helped me spin up #2, which is what I'm using now. #3 is the ultimate here be dragons, but will get us 4k display"

That tweet, and the whole thread, only speak of the Display Controller and Linux render/framebuffer management. Graphics drivers are another separate topic, which as the parent noted, aren't usable yet.
