I've tested both locally, and found no problems, but I'm on Mac - and since they're optimisations (important ones, for sure), it'd be good to get some assent from a Windows user (or several) that both patches are okay - it'd be frustrating for everyone to post a 1.9.1 that fixes the black boxes but introduces another regression. Most people do run with random objects enabled, after all. Not that I don't think both patches are good, but there's quite a clamour for a more stable version 'soon' - throwing performance patches in to a bug-fix release seems like asking for trouble. (I've said such things in work situations before and been over- ruled... but I've also been the person pressing to include a 'safe' fix that promptly blew up...)
