I'm running a WPMU site using version 2.9.1
Will 2.9.2 run better? "Should" I upgrade? Is it painless?

I believe the .2 (or was it .1.1?) contained a security release so I would say it;s a good idea.

It was seamless for me. Just backup, then do the automatic upgrade.

Gotta admit I think many (most?) of us are against using the automatic upgrade.

I agree with DrMike.
I am against the automatic upgrade. I've heard too many horror stories ... mostly from folks who run commercial sites about new versions and upgrades being released before they were fully debugged. Can you spell "lost data?"
Maybe the auto-upgrade was okay for personal bloggers, but these days many folks are looking to their sites to create income and breaking the site and losing the data hurts the bottom line.
Meanwhile, I upgraded, and it was seamless.
Whew.

Yeh, you're much more likely to run into issues if you use the auto-upgrade tool. There needs to be a flag you can set in wp-config to just turn that thing off.
Thanks,
Andrew
