Bottom line - spectre patch...

Oh, 40% quicker benchmarks when the Spectre patch was disabled. Might be worth waiting for the release build before coming to a firm conclusion though.

See the first post in the thread. I've repeated this test on a different machine (which was much quicker with 1809) for some reason. It's all new hardware (i7 4790, i7 4770); I've read suggestions...

That's what it says it does, my only means of testing this is to run my benchmarking tool and note the increased performance.

And, of course, you can enable the patches again once you're done....

To disable Spectre, I used this tool from Gibson Research, whom I am assured are a respectable organisation who specialise in this sort of thing.

Everyone run for their AMD machines, this Spectre patch in 1809 is crucifying machine performance.

We've got a preview build of 1809 running on a test machine, some macros are failing because of a change of behaviour in text editing. All our existing machines exhibit this behaviour -
