Not nearly enough to reduce animations. My jailbroken iPhone flies because animations are set to zero. There is a tweak called nonmoreanimations. It effectively ends all of them. iOS becomes super fast as a result.
Understood. Thanks for the answer
Well all I know is my 6+ is a lot more stuttery and frozen screens and delayed typing since I upgraded to 9. Way worse. I guess I will try a couple of restarts and see if that helps. But my 6s+ will be getting here on Friday anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter to me, but it may matter to people who aren't upgrading this year.
try this: activate reduce motion AND reduce transparency. Use the phone for some time, open notification and control center, safari, etc.
Now deactivate those two options.
See if performance improves. Many people in another topic here in macrumors reported that these steps helped their 6+. Let us know if this is your case. :)

I don't like how unfinished the latest iOS releases have been when they are released. They should extend the beta testing period if they need more time to fix lag, bugs, performance issues and so on.
iOS7 had 9 updates. iOS8 had 10 updates. I'm pretty sure iOS9 is going to have even more updates. I won't be surprised to see iOS 9.5 this time around.
I think that the initial release x.0 should be as polished and stable as possible (I understand that it's not possible to get it perfect). iOS9 is definitely in beta stadium considering the lag and problems that people are having.

Apple's latest software updates (iOS and OSX aswell) can be compared to today's gaming industry. They got a deadline and they rush a buggy product out and then start to patch it after the initial release.
