I assume you mean the wait for it to "stablise" is less? I had the
impression that Sid gets package updates before Ubuntu simply because
Ubuntu is an attempt to stabilise Sid so it has to wait. It's a little
difficult to compare them though as Ubuntu works on the principle of
releases and Sid does not. That would imply the way you utilise them is
different.
