I was pleasantly surprised to see that Yosemite is actually faster on my MBA than Mavericks was. I am curious to see what other people are experiencing since the word on the street is no performance improvement.

Here's mine.

Geekbench 32 bit

Mavericks 1467 single 3054 multi
Yosemite 1912 single 4097 multi

Mid 2011 13" Macbook Air 4GB 256 GB

What's your before and afters?

I'm noticing Yosemite seems to be markedly faster across the board. Makes me wonder if Apple finally has worked out how to properly code and compile OS X to fully leverage SSDs.

Yosemite is a lot slower for me. To be expected since I installed it on an old external hard drive instead of the fusion drive.

This is quite a leap in performance considering you're testing final software against a beta. Gonna have to test it myself later.
