There are no schema changes, but 1.9 is faster at many working copy
operations due to more optimized queries.
Does that mean than an "svn upgrade" should still be invoked to get
these optimized queries?

If so, it makes sense to update the "Upgrading the Working Copy" section:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html#wc-upgrade
At least I was initially reluctant to try Subversion 1.9 on my
real-world working copies to avoid troubles when switching back to 1.8.
Absolutely; the release notes are not final until 1.9.0 is released;
that's why they're not published on our site (i.e., there's no link to
the 1.9 release notes on the site). We'll be updating them until the
last minute.
