Is PR CC2017 running faster than CC2015.0?

I'm with Premiere Pro from version 1 ...

CC2017 is the fastest Premiere to date...

I hate so say it, but I must admitt...

I can't compare to original CC (2013) which was before my favorite, since I did not compare on same project. What I know is that having project started in CC2015.2 (i.e 9.2) and converted in to CC2017 (i.e. 11.0.2) is night and day. I actually enjoy editing after long while and computer waits me not apposite.

Background: Each version from CC(2013) worked more sluggis and slow. Especially when Lumetri panel was introduced. In my last used version CC2015.2 it was mind blowind to wait for every move/click/trim a 10 second delay if "too much" LUT's was used. It was so frustrating I can't describe. My nerves had to be carbon fiber reinforced

I refused CC2015.3 since instability and broken workflow. I refused CC2017 initially since it was crashing like payed for. But than one day my multicam project needed several minutes to load image on program windows, and each try to tweak edit points lasted minutes to response, Lumetri waited 10's of seconds to reflect slider move... I had nothing to loose. I installed update 11.0.2 which blinked at me for few days and I was extremely surprised when I tested new version. I converted my projects from CC2015.2 than and happily found out that NO LAG whatsoever... I just finished project like I would dream off. No LAG in multicamera sequence with 6 cameras and third party LUTs and tons of effect on each angle. No LAG, It's true. Not even close. I don't even use "global Fx off" button now. Rendering of my (old) plugins is way faster (30%+). Editing is so much faster, I was actually searched web if I'm the only one to praise new Premiere. No hardware was changed! I have 3xSSD, 4-channel 32GB RAM, 6-core CPU, GTX770 with 2GB. And it was slow to pull my hair ourt (that few I have left with) until now. I become greatest hater of Adobe in last 2 years, but now I edit rather...

Stability: No it is not (yet) that stable as 2015.2 was. I do not remember when CC2015.2 last crashed. I have AutoSave disabled because it is crappy and I save when I need it. With CC2017 I have few crashes per project. I would say it is on par with older versions. Or better. CC2015.2 was most stable Premiere Pro after version 2 and 6. CC2017.0.2 is the fastest to date.

And I did not change computer in any way. I have Windows 7 SP1 with updates switched off on my main machine. So someone would stress out "latest software with latest updates" - nonsense. CC2017 works better on same PC. And i have clone machine (almost identical hardware) with latest W10... same story there too. So W10 gains nothing, updates gains nothing (if not something important per-se).

I have not noticed any difference in performance.
