How does it fare on iOS 27?

I have the 5-year-old iPad 9th gen with the iPhone 11's A13 chip.

On iOS 26 it was ridiculously slow. I feel that with recent iOS 26 updates the situation has improved and it became somewhat more usable.

For now I am keeping it on iOS 26 for app QA purposes, but would be curious if iOS 27 is an improvement or a regression.
