It slows down now and again for me, maybe every few maps but it wouldn't bother me anywhere near enough to stop playing the game. I didn't think that was the reason you were waiting on the patch though I thought it was the minor annoyances really forgot about framerate issues cause I really don't experience them all that often but if it's something that really irritates you I can understand why you're waiting.
. Pretty obvious it was not well thought out - am amazed though the issue survived the PS+ Beta, the Open Beta and now final release before being acknowledged.
