Mentions nothing about improving performance in change log, but fixes a number of issues that I personally haven't experienced nor read about anywhere.
 
I had the audio cut out issue with HDMI the other night on my Mac Mini and couldn't figure out what the hell was happening, so yay!
 
My girlfriend's 08 iMac had issues with the wireless dropping out and after the patch was installed everything is now gravy. Hurray for quick patches!
 
Fixes. :thumbsup:

The 10.7.1 update is recommended for all users running OS X Lion and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability and compatibility of your Mac, including fixes that:

*Address an issue that may cause the system to become unresponsive when playing a video in Safari
*Resolve an issue that may cause system audio to stop working when using HDMI or optical audio out
*Improve the reliability of Wi-Fi connections
*Resolve an issue that prevents transfer of your data, settings, and compatible applications to a new Mac running OS X Lion

What about the safari "x" on the tabs sometimes going missing until you click to a different tab and then back?

(downloading now, gonna be a while though)


edit: 17.4 MB, faster than I thought. Hmm. Initially I thought it didn't fix the safari issue, but I can't reproduce it anymore. Maybe fixed 🙂

My friend had the video issue, and I had wireless issues. Let's hope this really does fix it.

My main machine is gonna stay on 10.6.8 for quite some time though.
 
Dammit. It broke smb sharing with my Windows Box completely. I had 0 issues since I installed Lion, now I haven't been able to connect even once to my Windows shares after 10.7.1.

Also, having issues waking from sleep - before it was instant with opening my MacBook lid, now I have to mash the keyboard a few times before it wakes up.

Grrrrrr...

Have you tried rebooting everything?

Yeah, both my Mac and Windows box...thrice. It just hangs when I try to connect. It looks like it is about to connect, and just spins away forever.

Too late tonight to figure it out. Also, I noticed after rebooting my MBP, spotlight seems to be re-indexing if I hit it right after logging in.

I have a 120GB OCZ Agility 3, so I am a little bit concerned about this now. :hmm:
 
Fixed my SMB issue by deleting my keychain. After reconnecting and re-entering my network password, I can access my Windows shares again.

The sleep issue seems to be fixed also. Don't know what caused the problem before, maybe it was the network hanging in the background?

So then why is flash streaming still an issue on Lion?

Well, iffy WIFI or network was one of the reasons, as amdhunter noted right above me, and from a few other reports, that should be remedied.

The other is that... Safari under Lion has changed quite radically. It was running memory leak issues, among other things, so I wouldn't be surprised if it broke compatibility with certain plugins.

Personally, I haven't experienced any flaw with Flash player under Lion, but I still reverted back to Snow Leopard for other reasons, and looks like I won't be back to Lion for a while, at least on my Macbook.

Yeah, I had to delete some stuff in my library to get some things working properly. Even netflix crapped out until the deletes and its not even flash.
 
my wifi has been way slower since fresh install of lion 🙁 used to lock at 270 or 300 all the time - now its 1/2 that 🙁 and it feels like it.
 
Darn, i was hoping this would fix more of the issues i've been reading. Guess i'll hold off upgrading my hack till 10.7.2. I would like the Lion TRIM support for my SSD, but its got good garbage collection on its own, so i guess its no biggie.
 
Why don't you just use TRIM enabler?

At this point, AFAIK Apple isn't supporting TRIM for 3rd party SSDs, just their own.

When i read about it awhile back, i thought i saw something about it causing issues. Is that not the case?

EDIT: Actually, i just came across this - http://lifehacker.com/5803331/how-to-enable-trim-on-your-macs-solid+state-drive

Should I Use TRIM Enabler?

TRIM Enabler won't work for all SSD users. You should not use TRIM Enabler if:

Your SSD doesn't support TRIM. The only way to figure this out is to Google your SSD's model number and find out if it supports TRIM. Note that the "TRIM Support" line in System Profiler does not tell you whether TRIM is supported, only if it's enabled. So even if it says "No" in System Profiler, you should still Google your drive to see if it supports TRIM. Also note that you might need to update your firmware to get TRIM support, and you can find instructions on how to do that on the manufacturer's web site.

Your SSD already has built-in garbage collection. TRIM and garbage collection are similar, but they are not the same thing. Unfortunately, for some reason, the Apple driver for TRIM seems to conflict with drives that have garbage collection built-in to the controller, so you won't want to use it. It'll actually decrease your drive's performance.

Ah yes. That lifehacker page doesn't load for me, but that blurb may explain some of the reduction in performance I've seen reported out there for enabling TRIM.

However, it seems to be hit and miss. For some drives, activating TRIM doesn't decrease the performance much, but for others it's a severe hit.

You could always try it and see (after a hard drive backup and a kext backup of course). If it doesn't work well, you can simply just turn TRIM back off. Which drive?

Also, IIRC, there were some compatibility issues with running 6 Gbps SATA 3 drives on some Apple machines with 3 Gbps SATA 2 controllers, but firmware updates often fixed them.
