There are bugs in the 8.3.1 release which bit us when we started using
it; however, these are fixed in the 8.3 stable branch of cvs. We are
running successfully with that. These fixes will be in 8.3.2 when it is
released.

It's generally a good idea to test with a new release before putting it
into production, especially a major release.
Since you asked on the performance list -- we have found performance to
be significantly better under 8.3 than earlier releases. Also, the data
takes less space on the disk, and checkpoint disk activity spikes are
reduced in 8.3.
