Using GitHub everyday, I haven't really noticed an improved performance. Actually i'd say pages are becoming slower. Browsing issues with many comments or big PR has a terrible experience as not everything gets loaded
Yeah. It used to be unusable on mobile and great on desktop. But desktop has in my experience honestly been slipping pretty bad last few years. Maybe I live too far from the data center or something.
One weird tangentially related thing is checking whether a PR is merge:able after solving a conflict in this repo[1] for some reason takes several minutes. Maybe because there are 1000 commits in the same file. Doesn't seem UI related but weird regardless.

I'm still a bit salty they fiddled with the Lists UI when star'ing a repo and adding it to a list.
The emojis I had at the beginning of the list name don't render anymore (they show up as :eyesore_emoji_name: instead) and the list is sorted alphabetically now instead of by last modified. Also it's one looong list instead of a small scroll-able container like it used to be.
This is on Firefox btw. Now I'm seriously thinking about moving these GitHub "bookmarks" into a separate place like a bookmark manager even if I lose a bit of convenience.
