Is vBulletin 3.6.2 faster or slower than 3.5.4? What did your users say?

Searched this for several days, and I didn't get any clear opinions.

I am considering upgrading from 3.5.4 to the latest 3.6.2 but I need to know if it is faster or slower...

Please give your honest assessment, and especially whatever comments you got from users. I cannot afford to pay for a better hosting plan, so if 3.6.2 is more demanding in terms of resources I need to know, thanks!

It is about the same - but my experience is that it is actually faster.

[SaN-DeeP]

my experience says its slightly faster compared to old version....

[Robp57]

Its fast enough that you may see the difference...............
I do...............

Indeed, it's faster, because of the RSS cache feature for example

faster, yup. dunno about the resource usage though

Thanks guys for the comments, it's great news that it seems faster... I was taken aback when I saw it has more DB tables and all, but if it feels faster, that's great.
