Well, that's certainly not true for all hardware. I've got a 300MHz PII laptop that ran fairly well with 8.2. Its performance under 9.0 was, to say the least, abysmal. I was beginning to think it had finally reached the end of its usefullness as my desktop for work, unless I wanted to stick with 8.2. Then I installed 9.1 on it and, boy howdee, it runs great again. In fact, it feels faster than 8.2.
Some have great success and some don't....it's one of the reasons I think it has something to do with the 2.6 kernel and some or all of the modules.
If so, then it must be something that SuSE did to it. I've been running the 2.6.x kernels on 9.0 and now 9.1 (vanilla from kernel.org) and have had no problems whatever.
