I'll join in with the people reporting slower startup; I can not say exactly how much slower it is now, but a big slowdown. I get the splash quickly, but then I can stare that splash for "ages" compared to what it was before. Yeah, quad core, SSD drive, etc. etc. I have not wiped my caches and whatnot, yet, but apparently some people have tried that, too. (I will wipe the caches, though, just because of another issue).
I and many others have noticed that new portraits do not get updated to the smallest pictures/icons. Will try cache clearing on this. (For example, I see an ages old version of my own alt in the smallest pic, while the next size up and bigger all show the latest version).
The worst problem is character creation; it now get 2-4 second freezes after almost any change I make, and also almost always it starts having similar freezes after 0.5-3 seconds of doing a change (i.e. holding mouse button while moving some adjustment location). Makes customization process a real pita. (As a comparison, previously I used to have somewhat "jittering" moments _after_ each change, but at least I could see things happening, and adjusting shapes was totally smooth).
And one more issue. I started a character creation with graphics set to fixed window and spanning both my displays. After a while, I changed that to single display, but accidentally selected wrong resolution. While it worked, I wanted to get the right resolution. After that change the clothing etc. selection boxes were cut off at right edge, as if the window was rendered wider than the 1920 indicated. I started adjusting things more, and the selection boxes just got cut off worse and worse. I tried to switch to normal windowed mode, which revealed the width at which the game was trying to render, and that the position of the selection boxes was apparently proportional to window width, not absolute value left from right edge of the window. I then tried to switch back to dual display width, but the game didn't show any graphics on the second display anymore, though it did show the primary display as if the second was in use. Only restart helped. (Oh yeah, graphics drivers are updated only couple weeks ago, when I bought this new fancy card).
No crashes to desktop so far, though.
