As I said earlier, some of the most important changes that went into
6.0 were fixing performance problems in 5.x.  Since then it's been a
process of polishing and improving, instead of architectural changes.
So 6.2 is expected to be "better" than 6.1 but probably not measurably
faster for general workloads.

Dunno what you mean here.
