Sorry, is was not aware that this could be confusing :-)) Okay, heres
the bottom line:
There is a noticeable difference!
*) In equations its good enough (for me) because I think no one can
type math fast enough to have a noticeable lag. (When typing really
fast there is still a lag.)
*) In captions (since one can type normal text faster) there is still
a noticeable lag, but its far better than in beta3.
In both cases the CPU load peaks while rendering the characters.
I really hope this is clear now,

Unfortunately, I am not seeing the same performance gain. I installed
the rc2 binary from the lyx website and the svn binary from Andreas
and I see essentially zero performance increase. I actually see the
svn being a second slower than rc2.
I opened my thesis, which is roughly 80 pages with figures and math. I
then opened a figure float and typed the same sentence in a caption in
both LyX versions and timed how long it took for the sentence to
display on screen. So, it took me 6s to type the sentence and 13s for
it to be displayed on screen with rc2 and 14s with svn. This 1s
difference could have been my typing speed or start time or something
so I'm not seeing any speed increase.
This may just be because I'm using a 600Mhz iBook with 384MB ram. I don't know.
Cheers,
