Anyone knows if it is possible to uninstall this update if I want to update with the release or newer betas?
I haven't had any crashes. What are you running ML on?

what are you talking about? The apple developer page?
safari still buggy, scrolling, typing, beachballs page loading, still no improvement with 10.8.1
That doesn't really change the point..1 releases are both delta and combo in the same package. It's always the same thing.
Installed it on my Retina MBP and after working with 10.8.1 seed for several hours it does not seem to have any speed improvements for GUI speed (still lagging with some UI animations, battery still performs bad (approx. 5 hours - same as before for me).
Some tips for rMBP owners for speeding up the UI animations:
- Set 'Show scroll bars' to Always.
- Enable 'Minimize windows into application icon'
This seriously (very noticeable) improves some UI animations.
I feel sorry for all these problems with rMBP, but that's what the one deserves who cannot wait a little and always wants the best and newest gadget.
On my 13" MBA 2011 the GUI were never slow or choppy not even in Lion, and now in ML everything is even smoother, if smooth can be smoother at all.
For me ML works like a charm, Safari is super snappy, everything is responsive and nice, and I haven't experienced any bugs yet. There must be tiny things which I haven't noticed, but hopefully everything is going to be fixed in the next few updates, and at about 10.8.4-10.8.5 we will have a perfect, long-lasting OS.

Don't feel sorry. I own an rMBP and I have no idea what "lag" people are talking about. This machine is snappier than my 2009 MBP on all UI animations.
Sounds like you need a clean install. My first upgrade to Lion and then ML was like this. After a clean install it zips along.
I hope this makes Mountain Lion......snappier
Rather small update....

It's actually a fairly big update. Code files are typically only a couple of kilobytes in size. So a 36.4MB update is fairly big.

I see the difference between 60 and 30. I'm an avid gamer. You should have spent more time reading my post. I said that rMBP is faster than my 2009 MBP. Not faster than 2012 MBP's. So this means that if people thought back in 2009 that the MBP's were "acceptable" in their UI speed, then this is even faster. MBP's always had worse GPU's compared to desktop macs and they always had worse GUI animation fps. That's a fact. But even though they were always slower, it did not effect the usage that much, if it did we should have seen 10 times more complaints about the older MBP's than we see today for rMBP's.I am happy for you you do not notice this.
But Quartz Debug clearly shows the UI animation are about 20-30fps instead of 60fps in non-retina devices. There is no doubt about that.
Animations are choppy. Period.
But ... in the end it is the same discussion of people do or do not see a difference between a 30fps first person shooter and 60fps first person shooter. For me 30fps is choppy and 60fps is smooth as butter. Some people like 30fps and feels like it is smooth as butter.
BTW you can test the fps of your UI with Quartz Debug yourself. Install Xcode and launch Quartz Debug. Now watch the FPS gauge when you open/move/drag/whatever on the desktop. On a non-retina it will stay steady at 60FPS. With a retina device it will peak at max 30fps (and sometimes drops to low value as 15fps).
But as I said, if you do not see this lag, thhen dont bother.
