Core team member Sasha Aickin wrote a [great article describing React 16's SSR improvements](https://medium.com/@aickin/whats-new-with-server-side-rendering-in-react-16-9b0d78585d67). According to Sasha's synthetic benchmarks, server rendering in React 16 is roughly **three times faster** than React 15. "When comparing against React 15 with `process.env` compiled out, there’s about a 2.4x improvement in Node 4, about a 3x performance improvement in Node 6, and a full 3.8x improvement in the new Node 8.4 release. And if you compare against React 15 without compilation, React 16 has a full order of magnitude gain in SSR in the latest version of Node!" (As Sasha points out, please be aware that these numbers are based on synthetic benchmarks and may not reflect real-world performance.)
