Directory Opus snappier after just released Windows 11 update KB508957?

Microsoft aiming at a speed increase for Windows 11 users after the recent KB5089573 update for versions 24H2 and 25H2. Are you also experiencing a snappier Windows and Directory Opus with this update so far, or is it just between my ears?

The snappier bits may not have been rolled out yet.

To find out if this is enabled on your system after you have installed KB5089573 update;

1: Download Vivetool.
2: Extract to a folder and run from a command prompt in that folder "vivetool /query"
3: Find "[58989092]" in that output. That is Microsoft's "api code" for this "feature".
4: It will list either enabled or disabled.
5: If listed as disabled, run "vivetool /enable /id:58989092" to enable the "feature".
6: Reboot
7: You can run "vivetool /query" again to verify the feature is enabled.

FWIW, I can't really "feel" any difference, but I'm definitely jaded when it comes to MS promising performance upgrades.
