There was a new point update to Premiere.

Anyone had a chance to test it for better performance?

Better playback of Long GOP formats? Laggy playback of Mp4 is what's killing me right now.
absolutely the same awful performance.

It's been known about since April of LAST YEAR, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone:

It's a long overdue Javascript update. "ExtendScript" to "New World" and there is a method to disable.

From a 3rd party developer's email today (along with their software update):

Here are the steps to turn off ‘NewWorld’ and have Premiere revert back to using ‘Old World’:
  • Press Control + F12 or Command + F12. This will bring up Premiere's Console.
  • From the Hamburger menu (three lines next to the word 'Console'), select Debug Database View.
  • Scroll down to ScriptLayerPPro.EnableNewWorld and uncheck the box (setting it to False).
  • Restart Premiere Pro.
