Hadn't seen any stats posted so thought I'd post my observations here ...
Pre-1.6.3 - Capture of 10 shots for horizontal pano: 34 secs. After update: 25 secs
Pre-1.6.3 - Capture of 42 shots for 360 pano: 2 min 35 secs. After update: 1 min 28 secs
So, a significant improvement for sure.
One thing I found disconcerting was that during the pano captures, the brief black & white previews on the screen now look blurred for some of the shots, making you think it's moving too fast and capturing blurred images, but not to worry, the captured shots are all ok.
