That's good news  from  performance perspective since it includes the latest VisualVM version (1.2.2)
According to Oracle release notes this include the following functionality

  • HeapWalker performance improvements
  • VisualVM-Sampler performance improvements
  • BTrace4VisualVM plugin introduces BTrace 1.1
  • Profiling engine bugfixes

It still not a full replacement to a commercial profiler but I hope it will be soon :-)
