1400Mhz vs 1200Mhz might be perceptible, and the improved
heat management will help if your CPU frequency was being
temperature-throttled.

Ethernet bandwidth for the 3B+ on linux is claimed to be
about 300Mbit/s.  With Plan 9, I'm seeing a limit of
just over 200Mbit/s.  Not gigabit, but still it's a 2x
improvement over earlier models.

Note: you need to use Cat 6 cable to get more than 100MB/s
speed.  I discovered this the hard way.  The orange LED
on the RJ45 socket goes on if the link is in gigabit mode.
