Performance is a bit better, WordPress page generation times went from ~0.07xs to ~0.05xs.

A bit disappointed because I compiled RC8 earlier today :/

Is APC included in it now? I didn't see it in the release notes...

Looks neat, just seems like a bunch of un-needed features other then trait and memory improvements.

Eh, not totally – some very necessary removals (especially of magic_quotes_gpc) have finally taken place. Maybe not a big long list of additions or performance improvements, but some definite linguistic fixes.
