A lot of the changes look to me like workflow improving things - like all the opengl stuff, the multi-threading, the various render speed improvements. Those things should help in speeding up scene creation to my mind. The new thing (well, the other stuff is new as well, but hopefully you know what I mean) they are adding is the internal daz studio/figure support. I have in the past tended to use figures a fair bit in scenes, so this bit looks useful to me (how useful... I'm not sure - haven't done too much with the various Studio beta's yet).
