Gluster users - Nov 2012 - worth upgrading from 3.2.7 to 3.3.1?

hi gluster gurus,

we've been using 3.2.7 for a year now - and it's been quite stable.  so
far
so good.  however, gluster has moved on quite a bit and maybe it's time to
upgrade?  so, a couple of questions if you don't mind:
1/ what are the main benefits to upgrading?  i'm particularly interested in
hearing about stability & speed..
2/ do people keep the automatic self-heal switched on?  (i ask as i
remember someone here turning it off for some reason)
3/ anything else i should ask?  ;)

would most appreciate any responses both positive or negative (as long
as constructive).

regards to all,

paul

gently bumping my own post here.

maybe i should put this another way - have many of you upgraded to 3.3.1?
 ie, anyone out there using 3.3.1 successfully?
