Not exactly.
Checking source finds the min-ns-dots speed-up in 9.8.5-P1, 9.9.3-P1,
and 9.9.4b1 and so in 9.9.4.  On the other hand, I think the more
substantial set of RPZ speed improvements for multiple policy zones
is in none of those and so will not be in 9.9.4.  My bet would be
on 9.10 along with client IP address triggers and "drop" and
"truncate" actions.  I think the multiple zone speed-up is in the
subscription-only 9.9.4-S and so will be in 9.9.4-S1.
