How's it running for you? Are you lagging? Buttery smooth? Dying after an hour?

iTunes restore or OTA update?

iTunes installed 9.0 then OTA 9.0.1

For me it seems to lag slightly more then 9.0 but the battery life seemed to improve with 9.0.1 by a lot. Usually I'd be around 30-40% by 10pm but I'm at 62%

Background refresh, Siri suggestions, reduce transparency and motion off.
 
So far so good on my iPhone 6 Plus.

Battery is not affected and is pretty much the same as when I was on iOS 8.4.1 and iOS 9.0

Fantastic for me. My previous version was a clean install of 8.4.1 on my iPad mini 2. Under it, Kindle would stutter when I tried to change the pages to read a book that had an unusually large number of highlights. Sometimes I'd swipe the screen multiple times to change the page on that book without the page actually changing. I installed the most recent version of iOS 9, and suddenly it works fine now. Everything else seems reasonably smooth to me as well.
 
I did an update with itunes and restored on two A5 devices, they took too much of a hit so I went back to 8.4.1. 9 will be optimized over time, maybe I'll update later.
 
Did iTunes update to 9.0. Setup from restore but found a small delay (still present) on lock screen. Battery life seemed a little poor but not too bad really so reset and setup as new device. Performance was good on new setup.

Did 9.0.1 OTA which I have no issue doing if a smaller update. Noticed all to be ok again so far and if anything better battery life
 
Just as stuttery and laggy as 9.0. Having a content blocker outweighs the bad for me, so I will stick with 9.0.1. Also I like the new news app.
 
With 9.0.1, Wifi seems to connect better and actually will load mail and web pages and Spotlight now shows all my contacts. With 9.0, some contacts would show, while others did not.

Still holding my breath,

I don't notice any performance difference except the battery seems to be diplenishing faster in my iPad Air 2
 
My battery's draining about twice as fast now, compared to 9.0. I'm on an iPhone 5S.
Also there are graphic glitches, like this uncentered homescreen that i get when pushing the home button twice
