I have the original iPad and the iPad 3. I would call them night and day when comparing performance and speed.

The iPad 4 is faster than the 3. The 3 & 4 both have the retina display which is really spectacular - IMO. The 4 has a better camera than the 3 and just the fact that it has a camera is a big step up from the original iPad.

Read about the features in iOS 6 as well.

This is real specific as to what features will work on which iDevice.
