Compared to a visible light wave, the smaller “”faster”” X-rays have more bandwidth/can carry more information for the same band width—so the distinction seems to make a kind of intuitive sense.

They do, but not as fast as gamma rays. And according to which observer?

I wouldn’t observe gamma rays. They’re bad for your health.
