Argument is more than mere contradiction, and oh yes it is
Slower than a dead snail

Lucky you, think you forgot the sarcasm tag...
As it happens, I use a maxed out Mac Mini, e.g. takes forever to load icons in apps folder first time you access it
This may be due to the HDD. I had the same issue on my old system. On my rMBP with an SSD they load instantly.
I will stay on iOS7 an OS X 10.9 for a while. A great final bug fix is appreciated. Not that I have any issues with the current release.
Nope, not related to drive speed, and it's a major issue with network drives as well. Slow as molasses on 10.9 regardless of drive speed, with those same drives the contents showed instantly on 10.6. Seriously, this is a common problem and I don't know why Apple hasn't fixed it.
My mid-2011 MBA was a DISASTER on Mavericks until two weeks ago when they finally sorted out why my fan was continuously screaming, it was running red hot, and battery life was starting to be minutes. Now, finally, it's working normally again, runs cold, and I haven't heard the fan spin up once. I'm always a fan of stability and optimization prior to feature addition, so my thanks go out to the bug fixing team! Maybe a less fun team sometimes, but far far more important in my book.

After the Mavericks upgrade, the first Mac OS upgrade I've done since 1992 (which went flawlessly on my PB 145) I have now learned to wait at least 4-5 months and to cautiously study all user forums and bug reports before even thinking about considering upgrading.
Yosemite is quite stable. Keep in mind they're doing beta testing this time around, ensuring that the result will be even more stable. I'm using it as a daily driver right now and there are very few bugs. I think 10.10 is going to be one of the most if not the most stable .0 release in the history of OS X.
I hope so, but Apple seems to do this weird thing where the last beta will be very very stable but then the actual release has all these new bugs, often bugs that were previously seen in old betas suddenly resurfacing.
My OCD tells me to upgrade when I shouldn't because I need my softs to be working but something makes me adopt early even with bugs and things not working I can still breeze through work using what ever I can.
The only things I can't loose are syncing apps like google drive so we'll see what happens

Slow to populate, slow to display icons. I'm using a 2014 MacBook Air which runs ok, at best. Depends what one's standard of acceptable performance is.
Ah, yes that's true. But I guess it can affect it if one has another window in list view where the size is being calculated. Worth checking at least.
