It happening to me too! My graphics now can handle the game on Ultra settings way better then it did in the past versions. Before I was barley able to play a full game on High graphic setting before my computer over heats and crashes. Performance is certainly so much better now. Unbelievable for my 2009 laptop.
For those getting better performance, are you playing from the arcade or from the editor? Also are you using 32 or 64 bit? I was playing on the arcade and was getting some lag with the game showing 0 fps (64 bit).

Well it turns out my Graphics setting was never on Ultra graphics. This is strange because the graphics are so great I thought I have been playing the game on Ultra graphic setting after the patch. Well I've added a picture of my graphic settings and it turns out that the graphics are not on ultra but on medium...This is mysterious to me because I clearly see that the Graphics have change to for the better from what was before. What is going on here? any Ideas?
I'm confused about this as well. It wasn't until I finished the prologue campaign that I saw that my recommended settings got downgraded from Extreme to High, even though I could've sworn that it was on Extreme by default. I can also still change it back to Extreme and have no performance drops in either SP or online (tested on both 32 and 64-bit clients).
So did the auto-detect settings get altered or is it just a bug?

Graphics have improved in both the Editor and in Arcade. Right now I'm thinking that the patch has optimized the graphic setting for my computer.

Interesting that the recommended graphic settings are getting change around like this. I believe the graphic settings got altered by the patch. Now everything in my map is popping out and shiny along with better map details. I didn't have graphics up to quality before everything were more rustic and bland.

I also have 0 fps when you hover mouse on menu with 64 bit client.

@KorvinGump: Go
Did you try using ctrl+alt+f ?
Should bring up fps, ping and stall per minute
It does not help.

So all those with performance issues (FPS drops, lag spikes, crashes, etc.), check this out. I think I found out what's causing it and how to fix it:
