Has iOS 6 slowed down your 4S?

I know when Apple released iOS 4 it slowed down the 3G, and people were saying iOS 5 slowed down the 3GS + the 4 slightly. For those who have installed the beta of iOS 6 on their 4S, have you noticed any slow downs on the phone, or does it seem faster? I ask because I'm wondering whether or not Apple will make this update slow the 4S down so people go out and buy the 5 when it comes out.

Thanks.

It seemed the same to me so far I mean it's only beta 1 but I didn't notice any lag or anything .. Then again in my opinion the changes from 5 to 6 are more minor than 4 to 5

iOS 6 Beta 1 on my iPhone 4S seems to run just as quickly as iOS 5. And, as everyone else has pointed out, Safari is fast. I mean, FAST. If you install iOS 6 now you will not want iOS 5 back just because of Safari's speed. Trust me...haha.

everything is running fast for me, email I have no problems with, the only time I have experienced a slow down was while in the app store and that is most likely because of the on going changes being made right now.

Safari is fast for me. Getting search results on the App Store is pretty slow though. Thank goodness for Facebook integration because using the app is a nightmare.

the slowest part of iOS6 beta 1 on my 4S is the music player... sometimes slow to skip tracks... everything else seems equal or faster to iOS 5... Safari as others have mentioned feels noticeably faster, but could just be how it's loading content... overall, pretty stable for a 1st beta...

Please note that iOS 6 is in beta. We shouldn't base our decision on software that has bugs and hence the beta tag is applied in order for all the beta users to report them.

Whether or not it's faster than iOS 5, we have to wait and see until its official release.
