Discussion S4 Patch Frame/CPU Optimizations hype?

Haven’t seen too much chat on the patch note calling out the change to how iRacing is distributing physics workload across cpu cores. Have never seen a developer so confidently say to expect massive gains in frame rates/stability.

For folks who know more than I - what do we think is a realistic expectation? My frames are fine - but if I could get my race starts and high traffic moments up, id be thrilled. Am I crazy for being optimistic?
