Done a comparison with 4S - on wifi very little difference to be honest. In fact unless you are using graphic intensive apps - not much difference in quite a few areas
 
Side by side there is definitely a difference, but if they aren't next to each other there is realistically not a major noticeable difference. The gig of ram makes a difference... haven't had as many page reloads with 8 tabs open.
