Yes, the results are slightly better, even the support of amd64 appears 
to be much better, but I would be careful; it's easy to overrate 
benchmark results. There is a lot that you can do wrong if you create 
benchmarks and I would not guarantee for the correctness of my own 
results. Nevertheless I think 6.0 will be a great release with increased 
performance.
