I tried the changes on SISI and the FPS improvements are awesome before even applying the new graphics options! This patch is like an early Christmas present!
The drone/turret model disabling relationship is slightly confusing. The patch notes say "When drone models are set to disabled then the turrets are automatically also set to disabled." Does this mean that the turret models are never rendered (even when firing) if the drone model rendering is disabled in the graphic options?
P.S. Took around 20 clicks to post this.

Ok let me get this straight, your customers ask for a goodie for christmas (like the snowballs a bit back) and you give them .... a patch that u needed to throw in anyway cause the server and client cannot keep up with the current fleet fights?
no offence, nice stuff in the patch, but don¦t try to sell us a (bug) fixing patch as a super nice extra goodie ... it¦s a patch that u needed to do anyway, so where is the "extra"?
The deployment date for this patch is "a super nice extra goodie" since CCP could have kept on tweaking it 'till after new year's. The FPS performance increase from gui changes is super nice on it's own, but add on top of that the ability to turn off the shaking during warp, and the other great stuff, and you've got absolutely nothing to be indignant about.

well i simply expect that a company that is running a normal business is fixing stuff, in CCP¦s case they fix bugs and optimize the performance of the client and the servers that we pay for.
if you think it¦s an extra that your new bought TV is able to display the daily tv programm is not my fault, i simply cannot see where the extra is in this.
And your point that they give us the patch before christmas and not in the new year ... we pay for this service, so i expect to get bug fixes when they are finished, so this one is finished and they did their job or got it done in a hurry and will most likely mess something up, i realy hope it¦s the first option.
That¦s nothing more or less than my boss asks me to do, there is simply no extra in this 
Current GUI performance is not a bug; and my current graphical performance is completely acceptable (and I play at 1920x1200 AAx4+HDR). The shaking during warp is also not a bug. Like I said, they could have delayed for various reasons, and I am very glad they didn't as I plan to spend a lot of time in EVE over the holidays.
I still don't understand what you are complaining about? Is it that a CCP developer expresses pride in work that resulted in such a huge increase in client performance? What is it?

you still don¦t get it that it is their job to do that stuff do you?
it¦s their job to work on a better performance
it¦s their job to get a patch out for obvious problems with the server and client (and GUI performance maybe is no bug, but still something that needs to be optimized as quote before)
and when as an end result of your points there is only "we stop screen shaking during warp" left as a "christmas gift", then i simply think it¦s another pretty bad ccp joke.
don¦t get me wrong, i like this patch, all nice stuff in it, but the news announcement is simply a ****ing bad joke. there is nothing in it that could barely count as a gift/goodie.
I am simply saying there is nothing wrong with being impressed when someone does an especially good job. And if this happens sooner rather then later, it's a bonus/gift/goodie. Accomplishments like that usually involve dedication and extra long work hours. Surely that's something recognizable?
And, yes, the option to stop the shaking during warp is a gift all by itself.

Sure there is! There is plenty of extra marketing in this. 
However, I also miss the times when CCP didn't seem to be trying to put so much hype on stuff.
That is certainly a lot of alts. Reminds me of something.
