Update was downloading when I checked my PC. I disconnected from the net to stop the DL so I could run a few random benchmarks before installation.
Ran the single/multithreaded benchmark in CPUID, Cinebench R15 and finally opened 4 windowed instances of the SuperNes emulator “Higan”, With 4 different games running.
The after results were practically unchanged. Patch had no effect according to this rough test. My CPU is an i5 6500.
Hopefully the patch can be refined over time to minimize whatever performance loss it does cause.

For us Win 10 Fast ring folks, there was a STRANGE Intel update floating around a couple of months ago. No one knew what it was for. I bet that was the patch :)
