Root and install a 4.0 rom!
Example issues:
* Random reboots
* Choppy playback in the Music app
(Amazon MP3 worked fine)
* Random app crashes, particularly
games (possibly due to lack of official
4.0 support)
* Poor GPS performance, occasionally taking
15-20 minutes to acquire a position (typically
solved more quickly by rebooting, but it takes
several minutes to know there's a problem in the
first place)
It's difficult to blame the app crashes on the OS if the app doesn't claim to officially support 4.0, but that's still reason enough to wait.I'm eagerly awaiting the day that CM9 is released, or MIUI releases their official 4.0 version, but until then I think it's better to stick with what works.

In my experience, the stability and performance of various peripherals like GPS and the WiMax radio are about as good as the stock 2.3 ROM. I haven't even noticed a change in battery drain...
