Database?
And, as pointed out, unless the DB spans a rack full of storage, try it 
on a copy.
I did a migration from 3.4 to 3.6.x and PostgreSQL almost bit me 
(because of unicode characters in the DB that later releases of 
PostgreSQL wouldn't accept anymore).
Moving from FreeBSD5.4 to 6.2, advancing two PostgreSQL releases (8.0 to 
8.2) and one RT3 release also resulted in a noticeable speed-increase.
On the same hardware.
Will look to try out 3.8 soon.


cheers,
