Havent seen an ESR update so far, but 61 has already come on quite a few of my systems.

I only noticed ESR because my Debian desktop (which is running esr 60) got the 60.1 update today.

My other debian machines got 61 today. Haven't booted Arch. Probably not updated yet, they're not usually the same day updates on browsers, but probably before the end of the week. Ubuntu hadn't updated as of earlier today.

Ubuntu nor Mint has gone to 61 as Im typing on Mint 18.3 Cinnamon right now. Neptune and Mageia are still on ESR 58.2 but I expect Rosa will be on 61 fairly quickly. Windows 7 Im already using 61 and there is a speed improvement no doubt.

On Debian I will say I didn't see much difference in speed. I updated my new Lenovo Yoga to 61 today, and if not for seeing it install, wouldn't have realized there was a difference otherwise.

Just checked and Fedora hasn't upgraded yet either. Actually kinda surprised me.
