Again, I might just be missing something there, but it'd be nice to know.
All you need to understand is that C++ makes it more portable and should make the game generally faster.

If there are things missing in V4, things like that tend to happen when there is a complete rewrite. It will take time for ALL of the features from previus versions to make their way back in.

I can't use v4 since I'm not VIP (and don't plan to be; why pay money to be a beta tester?) but if you don't notice performance boosts, then at least you should once Stefan works all the wrinkles out of the code.
