Yep, this is my number 1 hope too.

Recently, I've been experiencing MAJOR slowdown, frozen screens and non-responsive apps. They really need to fix the memory leak problem ASAP! Here's hoping 5.1 will address this issue.

A reboot helps and wiping the cache helped me too.

True, but having to do this all the time is ridiculous... Since the N9 has been released, we haven't seen any major updates addressing any of the issues we've had. I really love my tablet, but these issues are becoming old...

5.1.1 is now out for the Nexus Player.

Probably not a good sign for us.

Looks like we're gonna be left behind now

Completely agree. Nexus is a beta but I figured they will fix this at a month or two tops after I spent a week with it and saw the problems. Didn't return it because I love the hardware. Now approaching six months with it and I'm rather annoyed with Google.

Loved every other Nexus device I've had but this thing is for sale and I have a Z2 tablet on the way.

The N9 is slated to skip 5.1 & go straight to 5.1.1 let's hope it hits soon

Where did you see this? I hope something comes soon, because it's just getting frustrating to have the newest Nexus device be last in line to get updates.

Agreed, I can see the reasoning about getting the most Nexus devices in the most people's hands getting the update first but dang.... I would like to have the newest update on the newest tablet a bit faster.
all I can say is they must be making sure it runs pretty damn well before they release it to the mass public.
I can't remember where I read that the Nexus 9 will skip directly to 5.1.1 as I read all kinds of articles relating to the newest releases of Android. Some are just click bait - but this one seemed to be quite genuine. if I can find it and I will post a link.

I found this. No timeline given, but it's something from a real site at least: Android 5.1.1 Builds LMY47S And LMY47W Spotted Via Google's Own Site Running On The Nexus 9 And WiFi Nexus 7 2013

Well, here's an update.....wait and see.

Googler says Android 5.1.1 rollout for the Nexus 9 is around the corner, blames last minute bugs for delay

[systemofadown1]

5.1.1 has been made available for flashing to the WIFI Nexus 7's & Nexus 10 (the factory images are up on the developer page). This is a good sign

Well there's no N9 image, we all said the same thing about the images being a good thing after posting for the other nexus devices, look where that got us.
