Remember that he's also the 200m record holder (19.30), a race that demands maintaining top speed for twice the lenght than the 100m. In the the 100m, Bolt's deceleration will be less than most sprinters. Also, keep in mind that Bolt has only been running the 100m for a year. Just think of what he's capable of with maturity and training, 19.40's? What was his absolute velocity in Beijing? According to Atto Boldon, Bolt probably reached an absolute velocity of around 30 miles per hour, just mind blowing. I think 9.5 is very plausible.
