Estimating 30 minutes or so.
 
edit:
The update reduced my fps by 10 to 20 fps on the cross country flights.
The micro stutters are still there but not as obvious. Instead of the stutter losing X fps it only loses x fps.
The inside flight deck instrumentation refresh rate has been cut considerably. not smooth as before and now choppy.

Check the options at the bottom of the Display section for the new glass cockpit refresh option.  It probably defaulted to Medium which I find fine as I was using a mod before that cut it to half of whatever my current FPS was (only way to make the 787 have over 30fps for me).  This patch is a mess.  The A320 left engine shuts off if you turn the APU off.  The 787 if you have that version is completely borked.  Can't follow LNAV, and shutting off the autopilot on landing it just flat nosedives with no control capability and falls out of the sky.  Also, if you need to adjust controller sensitivities you're going to be hunting down the XML files to do it as the in game menu for it is blank.  They seem to have broken more than they fixed with this update.

The Airbus, which I'm familiar with, doesnt fly anything like the real aircraft. Very nose heavy. The FMS will not allow you to enter a ZFW and it remains blank. The weight and balance page allows you to change the ZFW but doesnt result in any change.
 
The Auto Thrust on landing remains active despite having the thrust levers at idle on landing. I have to manually disarm the auto thrust just to land.
 
A needed change would be to have any panel selected be displayed independently so you can input changes or add data without having to adjust the main screen to focus on any particular panel. This would also require that if you move the curser from one monitor to another monitor that you can still maintain control of the aircraft. As it stands now, if I move the curser to a different monitor the aircraft can not be controlled.
 
A lot could be improved and this experience is no different than any other software release. In time it will get better.
