You won't see much improvements in performance for a machine
that runs a light load only.  This is typical for the home/hobby
machines that many people have.  Try pushing it with a high
load, particularly on a multiprocessor, and you should definitely see
a difference.

Other improvements include:
better support for more hardware: noticeable if you have that hw,
more filesystems: useful if you happen to need that.
