I've been a daily linux user until  3rd edition came out
(when I became a daily plan9 user). I have noticed
that the memory usage for me is 1/10th or so w/ Plan9 wrt Linux
(I include X and gnome here).

Regarding speed, the system `looks' (again for me as a user,
no measures taken) more or less like linux but for a couple
of things I noticed:

 - network transfers are slower in my case using Plan 9.
   (but fast enough).
 - mail processing is a lot slower in my case using Plan 9,
   perhaps due to the combination of acme Mail, upas/fs and the
   network; But again, for me it's fast enough.
