I've got a Canon 7D and I love it.
I've never updated the firmware though, mine is version 1.1.0 and I'm wondering, would I get better performance from my camera if I was to update the firmware?

Yes you would, it increases the write speed to certain cards, prevents lock ups, and there is just now downside, upgrade.

If it weren't so easy I'd say leave it until you need it. But it is very easy, so there's no real reason not to do it.
