It could also be a placebo effect, I do see improvement in iOS 9 in some areas, but with that video, to say it runs faster than iOS 8.3 (which I downgraded to) does not match what I've experienced. For example, Notes springs open instantly when tapped on in 8.3, while in that video there is a delay.
But yes, there may be something wrong with 8.3 on your iPad 2.
Also keep in mind that iOS 9 is in beta, so it may still yield in performance improvements.
I know my 5s in iOS 9 beta sucked for a few days, it was terrible to use. I DFU restored it and it worked much better, significantly more fluid but not up to par with iOS 8.3 or 8.4 beta.
With time, I expect it to end up being better due to metal. Who knows what the final version will run like on both metal and 32 bit devices.

Now that looks how I would expect. The OP here obviously has something wonky going on with their iPad 2 because nearly every animation hesitated and dropped frames a lot, even flipping pages wasn't the smoothest, and load times were clearly far worse than what we saw in that video. Something weird must be going on with their backup. They said they did a full DFU restore but then they probably put their backup on there and it went downhill. Maybe it is slowing because there is so much stuff on it? I'm not sure if flash storage is affected by that but whatever.Looks pretty good in that video
Hopefully that is the case, as I'd love my iPad to be as fast as that!
I will hopefully be able to get the public beta, as I'll put it straight on my iPad to evaluate
Fresh restores in DFU mode, iOS 8.3 and 8.4 performs way better than iOS 9 beta 1 on iPad 2, without any of the jittery animations shown in video (Wi-Fi, Rev-A). Apps also launch faster.
iOS 8.3 definitely jitters on my iPad 2 (Clean install), but less than what is shown in that video.
To be fair... when he hit multitasking, he's running like 50 high end apps simultaneously. (God knows why??) No power users are leaving more than 3-4 apps open at the same time.
I'm sure it DOES run as fast as iOS 8 for him... that just likely stutters as well b/c of the manner in which he uses (abuses?) it.
Good performance on A5 iOS devices but really bad battery life. As to be expected from the first beta ...
True... The videos shows more than jittery animations. From tapping app icon to app starting to launch, there's a noticeable lag.
So you're running it on an iPad Mini 1??
Whats performance like in comparison to iOS 8?
This beta just destroys everything we could count on iOS 9 now.
Hope next beta will improve Quite a lot, especially on battery life.
I am sure Apple don't want the public to know their iOS 9 first beta is so horrible, so unusable (for example on iPhone 6 Plus).
All iPhones can have 4 or 6 digit passcodes.
Unfortunately the 4s does not have the new search function at all.
Does the music app still crash on 3200x3200 (simply high resolution) album art specifically on the 4s? If someone needs a file to test I'm willing to pm in a dropbox link with a file that has high resolution album art.
