What is the general consensus regarding the overall speed of 9.0 vs. 8.2? I have read that there may be a speed hit in upgrading to 9.0?
I think there's a noticeable hit. I got frustrated with several niggling things on 9.0 -- including the speed issue -- and went back to 8.2. I have to say that I feel that things sped back up. I don't have any quantifications, but I would like to point out that after spending $70 (including shipping) for 9.0, I was predisposed to like it, so it's not like I was looking for things that would annoy me.

Can't say that I have noticed a speed reduction in the overall 9.0 setup. System loads as fast or faster than before, programs load quicker, smoother. Compiling goes incredibly well and much faster or has been my experience thus far! Now you might be taking a hit with KDE or Gnome, both of which have changed quite a bit, but those seem much faster as well to me. Also, just got XFce4 installed and that is very much a quick GUI. XFce comes with SuSE, but is an older version, yet still worthy of your attention if looking for a faster interface. For me, XFce4 would be my second gui choice, even over Gnome. Overall, I consider 9.0 a worthy update and if optimized correctly, will provide you a slick setup! Not trying to say you didn't optimize your setup guys, just not seeing the speed reduction you seem to be experiencing.
