Well this is a pretty subjective statement and like with most things in IT, it depends. I suspect there are multiple variables, like video, other software you are running etc. Personally, my observation is that JAWS 18 isn't more stable, or unstable then other recent releases. It has been a little unstable for a while, but it is also better at recovering from some situations. I have seen much more instability of late, in Internet Explorer 11, I have a lockup once a day or more. And ... Chrome and Firefox aren't perfect easier ... so what is a blind guy to do?

p.s. Upgrade one machine, and just try. I always leave one previous JAWS version, sometimes two, on all my machines at work, and at home!
