Brian, I'm sure I won't be the only to say "it depends" here ;-) That said, as far as "ballparks and gut feels" go, I'd say that Railo and CF9 are both significantly faster than CF8, all around.
I had a Model-Glue/ColdSpring/Transfer app running on a CentOS VPS with CF8/JRun and 512 MB RAM and it was slow to start up, a bit slow running and continually crashed the JRun instance. And, it was the only app on the entire VPS server! I moved it to an Ubuntu VPS with Railo/Tomcat, along with 6 other CFML apps on the instance, also 512 MB RAM, and it's noticeably faster all-around and has not crashed once. This is not comparing apples to apples, because I changed both the CFML engine (CF8 to Railo 3.1) and the servlet container (JRun to Tomcat), so take it for what's it's worth. I can't say for sure that CF9 would have the same performance gain that I saw with Railo, when moving from CF8, but I'd expect similar improvement. The servlet container can have a big affect on resources as well. Tomcat is certainly more lightweight than JRun, and though it's not officially supported by CF9, it works fine with one jar added for ORM support (I think there's a good post about this on Alagad's blog).
