I wouldn't worry - I sold my 6s and using my old 5 for a few weeks in the meantime, and it has had the public beta of 10 and it runs as fast as it did on iOS9, so i dont imagine the 6 will struggle..
Got a tip for us?

Exactly why I skipped the Note 7 for the iPhone 7 Plus. My iPhone SE and iPhone 6S already runs beastly on iOS 10 Beta but my Samsung S7 runs choppy at times on the Snapdragon 821. So knowing what I know now the Plus 7 will be a freaking hotrod.
The iPhone 7/7 Plus is the fastest commercial phone on the planet! I'm supper pumped!!!!

It be interesting to see if that is what happens when you place iOS in low power mode. Should be pretty easy to tell by placing the phone in low power mode, and then running Geekbench.
Safari wouldn't be snappy anymore if that's possible.
There are too many aways to listen to music on this for anyone who is not stuck in the past few decades. To bad some people are afraid of changes.
I disagree. I could immediately tell the difference between the 6 -> 6s.
I've been running iOS 10 on my iPhone 6 since Public Beta 2 (I think). My personal experience with it has been great. There were some issues with it early on, but the last 2 or 3 betas have been buttery smooth. My battery life seems as good, if not better than iOS 9. The actions seem quicker. All in all, I feel like iOS 10 has given my iPhone 6 a new life.
If you have any specific questions, let me know and I would be happy to answer them.
Ultimately, a security vulnerable may eventually force you to 10, unless you don't mind your device being vulnerable, or if jailbreakers provide equivalent security fixes and your phone is jailbroken.
What's the meaningless bit? The 2 smaller cores aren't adding much to performance, they're for power savings. The 2 bigger cores are comparable (for all intents and purposes) to the dual cores in the past several Ax chips. So, it should be very meaningful to compare to previous iPhones.
Your article uses Geekbench 3, this uses 4. The scores were adjusted I believe, so this is not a fair comparison at all.
Seems likely. Now if only low power mode would stay on until I turn it off, that'd be great.
Its a shame that they removed the "no animation"-bug, my iPhone 6 felt so incredible fast using that bug, imagine using an iPhone 7 with that bug 
Faster, better and more stable than any 9 version. My battery life is much improved on my 6. People beta testing say it even makes their 5s better.
Feels even better than 9 on 6 Plus. No lags at all.
The iPads have always shared the same chip with the iPhones (with the X mod), and I cannot see that changing, so the "pro" label is bound to be about other things.
I literally laughed out loud reading this, love your "visa warmed up" phrase. Classic lol. Thank you.
Four things.
The fake results weren't far off, I knew it'd be close.
Apple's chip architecture is outstanding.
Can't wait to see the iPhone 7 obliterate the Note7 in speed tests.
For people who are saying the Note7 scores a higher Multi-Core, so what? You most tasks require the single core, hence why Apple work so hard in this department.
