Patch made game much better for me performance wise. AoC has never run better for me (been in beta 4 months).

In 4 hours of play one crash, but the client recovered from the crash itself, first time for me. FPS in the 40s on average, very little stutter compared to pre-patch gameplay. Load times to zones under 10 seconds, sometimes under 2 seconds.

Seems like they did something with the graphics. Some things look better (reflection of light off of metal surfaces especially) and some things looks slightly downgraded (textures on buildings). However draw distance seems to be further out without any slider manipulation. I stood on the cliff in the Archerion Ruins (or whatever it's called) and could see fighting quite far off, down in the valley. That was really impressive.

Honestly I would have been surprised to see the game run this well even a month after launch. I've always had decent performance, but that entailed putting up with a lot of problems too. The issues I had are 90% gone.
Another week or two of tweaks and I'm going to be extremely satisifed with the client at launch.
