According to the Wolfram Warptangent, Point Release 1 notes, the new Monero release will optimise the wallet blockchain refresh mechanism
What optimizations were made and what is their impact on efficiency or performance? What new refresh functionalities were introduce?
The key derivation (ECDH shared secret) is now only computed once per tx, whereas before it was done per output. With a basic 2 output RingCT transaction, this should amount to approximately a 33% performance improvement (more for old-style transactions with more outputs).
