Fastest my hub has ever been

Since updating yesterday, my Hub Watchdog results as well as my perception of the automations, is showing that my hubs are running faster than they ever have. I know some are having difficulty with the update, but once it is sorted out it may be worth the aggravation if you see the same improvement. Kudos to the staff that has been working hard to make this happen!
