To respond to both of you...
When a programmer says "You will see performance improvements" it usually doesn't mean everyone. If you do something that fixes shadows on Nvidia cards but shadows for AMD cards worked great already... AMD users won't see much if any improvement. You will still generally list it as "hey yall some FPS improvements!" in the nachpotes.
Also, they just completed part of a huge rewrite. Most of you have exactly zero clues what that entails so just to give a brief insight into it I don't expect to see anything actually "improve" until at least two rounds of bug stomp patches(aka 2-3 weeks) to land.
I personally saw performance improvements and have not suffered crashes in PVE(PVP we won't talk about). I know someone else who saw their FPS go up nearly double. I also know three people who saw their FPS dive.
Chances are the "dives" are bug related.

My update started about 5 a.m. my time and is currently only at 14% and it has been 10 HOURS!
I had the launcher set for unlimited download size but it seems that has made no difference.\
Any one?....

@Moira_Darling I have, I started hours ago and am only at 11%. Normally, my download speed is never this slow.

Same here. 10 hours and I'm only at 18%. I've never had anything download so painfully slow.

The server load was.

@Moira_Darling @ArchangelIsraphel @Opalblade This is a bug with their launcher that they’ve ignored for years. Somewhere around the 20-30% mark it will jump to 100%. Your download is fine, it’s just that the % part and progress bar is useless. Look at the bottom left text to see how much of the download is left to go, and you’re probably all nearly done
They didnt over promise anything. You simply didnt understand what they were doing./snip
What are the benefits of this update?
Once this update is complete, you will see major improvements to the game’s load time and the speed at which assets are loaded into the world.
Most notably, this change dramatically reduces the patch sizes for all future updates, and it results in a major reduction of space taken up by the client on your machine’s hard drive. Our console players will feel this improvement most strongly, and PC/Mac players also benefit from this change.

The biggest change arriving with Update 25 is the Patching Overhaul. This update completely changes how the ESO game client is downloaded, patched, and stored on local hard drives. Because of this change, ALL ESO players are required to re-download the game client. Once complete, you will see improvements to the game’s load time and reductions in hard drive space requirements for future updates. You can learn more about this major overhaul in this article. There’s a free pet to be snatched up, too!
Additional performance updates associated with this patch include improvements to frame rates, the loading of fixtures and characters, and more, so don’t hesitate to check out our performance improvements timeline or Update 25’s patch notes on the official forums for everything you need to know.
Optimized multi-threading implementation to improve performance in situations with lots of effects (particles, projectile effects, weather, etc.) happening at the same time.
Optimized specific processes that could cause spikes in resource usage and cause FPS drops.
Parallelized the fixture update processes, allowing them to utilize multiple cores to improve overall performance of the game client.
Added additional miscellaneous CPU optimizations including the following:
