Mainly, 2.2.x has a new VM subsystem, which is supposed to greatly improve performance, it has support for ELF Linux binaries, some more devices, a new configuration file structure in /etc and countless other changes that I don't recall off-hand. 2.1.7.1 is supposed to be more time-tested. 2.2.2 has some quirks and for a production server you may want to try a more recent 2.2-RELENG snapshot.
