It depends on which OS you're running on it.
Arbmian is clocked faster 1.5Ghz/2Ghz. It runs a lot smoother, but it get's a lot hotter too, and it consumes more energy.
The lubuntu armhf is slow and unresponsive. This is a 32-bit OS. Don't use this as your daily OS. Only for things that only run well on armhf.
The Lubuntu arm64 should run well. It's clocked to 1.4Ghz/1.8Ghz. You only notice this difference when you do heavy tasks.
Check my review video for more info.

Problem with keyboard-configuration
Before upgrade do :
sudo locale-gen "en_GB.UTF-8"
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo nano /etc/environment
add -> LC_ALL="en_GB.utf8"
After login it cuts the display and logs me out again. Sometimes display doesn't come back.
zram-config is not working. Does not start zram
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
-> delete 1st "exit 0" line
