It'll only ask you that when there's a newer firmware available. You can upgrade to 4.3.5 if you don't care anything about jailbreaking.

thank you, at this early point of having an iphone i dont care about jailbreaking and am still looking at the benifits of doing so other than using it on another carrier.
do these new firmwares happen often? i didnt upgrade, i just hit cancel. should i notice any difference in performance?

No you won't notice a performance difference from missing 1 update. You can still update your firmware if you so choose. Firmware updates are kind of random. It definitely won't be an everyday thing.
