For what it's worth I have a 4S and am running iOS 8.1 - nothing's different for me. Seems the same as what it was prior to the shift to 8.X I am still happy and enduring an Android Note 2 in parallel through no choice of my own - out of work necessity. Thanks. Pete...

I've had clients running iOS 8 on iPhone 4S with no complaints - sure it is not as fast as on the newer iPhones. THE IPHONE 4S IS THE OLDEST IPHONE THAT IOS 8 SUPPORTS, so it’s no surprise that users who have this phone are complaining about performance, as it was just like this last year when iOS 7 was released for the iPhone 4. BUT NOW IOS 8.1.1 HAS RELEASED WITH IMPROVEMENTS TO IPHONE 4S & IPAD 2 The iOS 8.1.1 update has bug fixes and performance improvements for the iPhone 4s and the iPad 2. The iPhone 4s and the iPad 2 are two devices that have seen degraded performance with iOS 8, but this new update will fix many of these problems that users have been having with the older devices. The iPhone 4s and the iPad 2 are the two oldest devices that support iOS 8. Many owners of older iPhones have been reporting slowdowns ever since updating to iOS 8 [1], mostly because the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system is aimed at newer devices.

Mossberg credits the second act of the Mac to three factors: the leadership of Steve Jobs, the rise of the Web, and Microsoft’s many mistakes.
