I have experienced the same thing. Particularly for huge sets of objects to be 
visualised. I'm using VPython to visualise results of numerical simulations 
and computations with potentially thousands to 100s of thousands objects.

So for some I've switched from rendering spheres to points which hugely 
improved performance again.

But I guess my use case is less usual, so it may very well be that for 
"normal" use cases 5.0 is faster than v 3.
