Here at home the 2010 MacBook Pro with SSD and 2017 MacBook Pro all seem faster indeed. The APFS filesystem really makes a difference. Too bad the iOS 11 didn't follow this path as it lags...
For me it still have performance issues on 2016 mb pro 15’ ...... been bad since i got it so starting to think its some hardware errors in it.. lag in launchpad and other places and glitches in lightroom and photoshop and in logic it become a beachbsll everytime pressing file in menubar but not if pressing other places.. and condole still show reports of cpu usage is to much and wakeups and memory resource error logs
I do not believe my 2012 MBP upgraded the file system since I have a conventional hard drive.
Yeah maybe not. You can check in Disk Utility if your disk says AFPS because mine says that.

Same for my 2012 rMBP. Feels faster. Scrolling and UI animations are noticeably smoother. I cannot tell any difference between internal vs. external GPU and it feels faster than a Haswell-based rMBP running 10.12.
Boot up time is a little slower (on stock SSD iMac with FileVault 2). Copying is much quicker, as is Safari etc.
no it is not. but boot time is very very and very slower .
It feels faster and “snappier” for me too vs Sierra. Nothing monumental but very responsive. It’s also very stable. Been using it via beta since June though so it’s hard to remember Sierra. In terms of APFS. It’s debatable. I don’t know how anyone could discern from everyday tasks between APFS and HFS. It’s not really designed for speed.
Yeah, for me though most of my copying/dupicating is either to my network drive or to the Cloud. Both over wifi so I'm limited to my wifi upload speed (which sucks BTW with xfinnity)Apple Placebo File System: APFS
...What is noticeable however, is copying/duplicating files - instantaneous.
All my apps launch incredibly faster, especially microsoft office. Usually everything opens slower after a new OS update.
