Right am on standby list for I phone 5 , just wondering is it really a huge difference between the two to even warrant a upgrade??? Thoughts??

Yes, massive difference in speed and responsiveness. The screen is much better also. I couldn't go back to using a 4 now, I've used a friends one since and it feels so old and sluggish compared to the 5.

I went from a 4 to a 5. Would hate to go back. My wife still has a 4 and I can't stand it anymore!!

I didn't think there would be a difference but after upgrading from the 4 to the 5 I can say it definitely is a lot faster. Opening apps, loading or processing are all faster. Most of the time it beats my iPad 3 opening apps and loading data.

mind you with the new iOS you lose maps and youtube apps. I've still got my iP4 jailbroken on iOS5.1.1 but yes the 5 is faster and bigger screen.

It's been updated in every conceivable way.

That's the A6 chip over the A5X chip and the 5 hasn't been used as much as your iPad yet.

I doubt it's gonna get slower over time. Well the iPhone 5 will a bit but then again the iPad probably will as well. Even syncing to iTunes is much faster now.

Couldn't go back to that squashed up screen!

And the lightness... ooh the lightness.

iPhone 4 to 5, you'll notice the difference, 4S to 5 not so much, increased screen real estate and slightly quicker

Any model older than a 4 and you'll get a noticeable upgrade.
From a 4S to a 5 its really not worth it, unless you're a major Apple fan.

I moved from a 4s to a Galaxy S3 in the earlier in the year when the S3 came out primarily for the bigger screen. I only kept the S3 for 3 months and then sold it as I just didn't take to it at all and found it a frustrating buggy experience. I then changed to Iphone 5 a few weeks back and have been loving it so far. The bigger longer screen is makes a far better phone for reading content and playing video (while not being as unwieldy as the S3) , alsothe speed is a noticeable step up from the 4s. The other thing is the lightness, it is dramatically lighter that the 4s and sometimes you forget it is in you pocket.

How is the difference battery performance between the 4s and 5?

How do you know? Do you have a 5? The 5 is miles better than the 4S.
