Anecdotally I've found the opposite, within acceptable terms. I have an original iPad mini running ios9 that honestly was better on 8 - but there is no maliciousness there: it's extremely old hardware that happens to have been supported for updates longer than it "should have" because it was in a new form factor (iPad 2 internals squished into a mini size)

This sounds like the same conclusion as parent, not the opposite.

  I did say "within acceptable terms" and qualify why I think it's reasonable that the iPad mini doesn't perform as fast as a new device.
