Any performance improvements to be had with iOS5? I am particularly interested in browsing speed.

Don't do it. It's an evil plot to make you want to buy a new phone once your current phone slows down due to the new enhancements. I currently own a Iphone 3g and wish I never updated the damn thing. It's a lagging piece of crap. My wife's Iphone 3g is alot faster than mine only becuase she never updated to 4.0 and above. Even the Iphone 4 will not be able to utilize all the new goodies that the latest Iphone 4s has to offer.

I'm not sure if you can do it with a 3gs, but you can downgrade a 3g back to 3.1.3 if any of you are worried and try it and find it sluggish.
You can, as far as I know, but the time spent on rolling back the phone could be better spent drinking. An iphone 3G is well and truly fucked the moment OS4 is installed, rolling it back will only prolong your suffering.

LOL x100
5.0 actually seems snappier to me on the 3GS then the 4.x software was.
Seems a little snappier on iOS5 than 4.3.5 on my 3GS. All the new improvements to iOS5 revives the 3GS a bit.
the 3gs seems to as quick with the new iOS5 upgrade... anandtech had benchies that actually seen improvments
...The most frustrating thing is that Apple seems to be selective on certain new features .... such as no location based reminders on the 3GS.
This is called Marketing. Apple is very good at it.
how are people complaining about the 3g... shit.. this is not what the thread is about..

I wish an untethered ios5 jailbreak would hurry up so I can finally upgrade from 4.2.6!
According to most of the benchmarks that actually include both iPhone 3GS iOS benches, it's ~as fast as the iPhone 4 was under iOS4

how has iOS5 been on the touches?
i have the stupid issue where the battery drains overnight if i leave Wifi on.
I updated an iTouch (4th gen? I don't know, came out with the iPhone 4...) to iOS 5 and I have to say time is better spent touching yourself than touching the iTouch after the update. It feels very sluggish, battery use is really bad, too.
I don't know, I just don't like it. Thank god it ain't my iTouch.
Never had a tethered jailbroken device, can you explain what it is exactly?
If you 3gs is the old bootrom, it will be untehthered. That's what mine is and that's what is say on sn0wbreeze.
