We're going to try to make the leap forward today. There will be some downtime while we attempt to do this. Rollback will be around 3pm if things are not working as expected.

The newer versions are slower, though I don't know exactly how much by.
I could definitely feel it when going between 19.4 and 19.5 mid upgrade (unless the quick switch caused the slowness!)

We're now federating more (as the newer version supports more things between instances)

We're also caching and resizing images too, so the server load is roughly 3 times higher.
(This may not continue).

We may do a restart once we're confident that things are stable. As it's possible that a little weirdness crept in!
