Should I upgrade to IOS 9 on an ipad mini 1st gen

[likeaboz2002]

So i recently had my 1st gen iPad mini repaired after not using it for about a year (i know, procrastination sucks). I haven't updated it since then, and it is currently running ios 8.1. I have many apps that I wish to install that require ios 9, and am wondering how bad it will slow down my iPad. It took a dump on my 4s (although that piece of garbage was used thoroughly by my dad for 3 straight years and now requires an external battery case to run for more than 2 hours, and will freeze regularly during mundane tasks), but the iPad mini has far less use, and 20% higher CPU clock (800mhz vs 1ghz) and 10% higher geekbench scores. Is it worth it?

probably not unless you have an application that needs IOS 9, IOS 10 is out FYI.

i know, i was pointing out the fact even if you update it's not worth it, you are not getting the latest version.

If u can jailbreak, that's at least worth an extra 20% 

Update doesn't make any sense it doesn't improve any shit at all

Ipad should be fast enough on IOS 8 and above

I had the same iPad and anything above 7 was a real pain. I think at this point it's better to jailbreak.
