One performance thing I did intend to include was the way it focuses the RF 85mm f2 STM. Everyone knows that's not the most rapidly focusing lens, but I've found with the R and RP, if you set the focus limiter correctly, there's not much of an issue - seems to keep pace with every subject I've tried with it (although I've not tried it with anything blisteringly quick yet), and acquires focus reasonably quickly. With the R6, though, it will go through the entire focus range from close-up to infinity in about the same time as it takes to go from the limit range to infinity, and generally seems a lot quicker in following focus, but especially in acquiring focus in the first place. I've got noticed the same thing with any other RF lens yet, but it does seem pleasantly quick with my EF f1.2 Ls.
Oh, and the Samyang RF 14mm f2.8 AF seems to work fine with the camera, something I was a bit worried about.
