I'm also on Mountain Lion and have been hoping for a power fix.
Right now I'm on battery power, screen is at half brightness, a few programs inactive in the background, the fans are running and I'm burning 1% of battery life per minute (Macbook Pro mid-2012).
I love this machine aside from the horrible battery life. I was thinking of bringing it to Apple store to check for battery problems. I guess I'll wait for this update to roll out to Mountain Lion.

Dock CPU problem solution
By any chance do you notice any unusually high CPU usage in Activity Monitor? I was having an issue with Dock running the CPU very high. Turned out it was looking for a symbolically linked default desktop image, which for whatever reason no longer pointed to the correct file. It was causing the Dock to loop continuously. I know others have been experiencing the same problem and it was a very easy fix. Just need to recreate the symlink and make sure it points to an actual image file. The are instructions posted in this thread: Dock on MBP Retina is using 80% CPU

I hope so too =/
I've been having the same issue with a Toshiba 1TB Basics USB 3.0 except it won't even mount on the rmbp. If this update fixes that I will be so happy.
Update: i got the update and my portable hard drive still doesn't work. Can anyone help me on what i should do from here?
There are a lot of issues about Toshiba 3.0 drives and Macs. http://macdailynews.com/2011/12/28/...macbook-woes-with-canvio-usb-3-0-hard-drives/
Has anybody here checked if this update resolves compatibility issues with USB 3 devices connected through USB 3 hubs?

A titbit less lag here, rubberbanding and smooth scrolling still need fixing. But there isn't a two-second gap between scrolling and landing anymore.
Firstly, obviously that's what it means... Secondly, it doesn't matter because clearly 2011 models don't need it. It's probably something vaguely hardware-related, fixed with software.
I migrated all settings from my wife's MB to her new MBA and some problems. The battery would last less than two hours and the fan was always running and the computer was super hot. I was going to do a clean install until I saw the update. I just did it and now, instead of the fully charged battery saying that it had 2 hours remaining, it jumped up to 7 and then 6 hours. My wife has been Internet browsing for about 20 minutes and no fan and it's not at all.
There is also no more scroll lag.

Noticeably less lag on my rMBP.
Hope it will be even better when getting on Mountain Lion.
When installing the update it did however stay on the grey screen for 10-15 minutes without any progress. I then hit the power button and only then did it install the update. Strange...
