Crashes are very rare and usually my fault; so it is very stable.

Particles work well and IMO add a lot of wonderful capabilities. Once I get a library of realistic particles put together, I'll likely use them a lot to add extra interest to scenes. Puffs of dust, dustings of snow etc.. Since they also work with ecosystems they are very handy. They also seem to have a minor footprint and don't destroy render times.

Global materials are very cool for things like placing a dusting of snow particles on everything in a scene or making everything look wet in the rain.

Render time improvements seem to be specific to certain things. Ecosystems don't seem to increase render times as much. How much improvement is dependent on what's in the scene. I need to test that more.

Overall it’s a very good update. I have not tested other changes yet, but so far very good. I'm happy with it.

I did notice while working on a volumetric material last night, it seemed to me that it rendered faster, but I have not tested that.
