Better Performance on the Smooth Brush (Smoother Smooth)
Most brushes got a performance improvement but it feels like the Smooth Brush (Laplacian) fell behind, I've even heard anecdotes that it used be faster in previous versions.
There is notable lag in current version (4.3.2) starting at 500k faces when most of the other brushes are buttery smooth.
It's a shame because smoothing is very useful at higher poly levels, but it starts becoming unresponsive when I really start needing to smooth my sculpt. It also makes the autosmooth option unusable on brushes.
Personally I feel like the Smooth Brush's performance is the main bottleneck to improving sculpting in Blender right now.

For the future, if you notice significant performance dips between versions, it's best to submit a report on the main tracker.
