Could iOS 9.1 public beta be more stable than iOS 9 public release?

For some it is. For some it's not. Seems like there are less stability issues in general compared to potential performance issues.

I was on 9.1 on my iPhone 6. Ran quick and smooth most the time.

I downgraded to today's 9.0 release version (which is different build than last weeks GM) because while it was very stable sometimes trying to play video from Safari would crash Safari. I never had that issue on any 9.0 beta ever.

So far on my phone today's 9.0 release seems smoother/quicker than 9.1 beta and also haven't seen Safari crash on me yet.

*gasp* they did!? Where is the option? I got the carrier update when I downgraded to 9.0 release. 21.1 is what I have for the Rogers version.

Oh wow. It's there! I looked earlier but in cellular and carrier not in Phone. Haha thanks. Finally. They took their sweet time adding it. I love how they came out and said it was coming with iOS 8, I guess a year of customers complaining and laughing at them was enough.

Wifi calling includes texting over wifi too right? Or is that still in cellular?

Excellent. Thanks!

Now that we finally have it. I'm a little concerned haha. I heard wifi calling doesn't allow continuity between your Macs and other iDevices. (Calling and texting from them.) Is this true or no?

dont know, only have 1 iphone & no macs

iPod Touch and iPad Mini both smoother with 9.1, but not remarkably so. I don't see any lag, but after I did the install I just left my device sit for awhile. No issues thus far!

iOS 9 introduced continuity for Wi-Fi calls. I am not sure it works with all carriers, but it worked with mine in iOS 9 betas.
