I have just recently purchased an iPad 2 (16 GB) wifi model. I see an update in the settings mode which says that I should update to iOS6 for better performance. However since its a wifi model and I dont have highspeed 3G connection I am wary of downloading an update that is almost 1 GB .Are there any advantages of updating to iOS 6 or should I let it be as it is?

iOS 6 does have lots of cool new features and performance boosts so I'd recommend getting the update. 1GB is not that big a size either these days ;)

Would not recommend iOS6. The iPad 2 gets nothing worthwhile new. While the wifi performance goes down by a couple of notches. Stick to iOS5.
