I've just been editing a bunch of M9 (18 Mpixel) raw exposures made with an f/47 Zone Plate using LR 4.2, as well as a bunch of 29Mpixel DNG encapsulated TIFFs of scanned 6x6 film.
Overall, I don't see a dramatic increased in performance, but various operations in the Develop module do operate more responsively. For instance, working with a pinhole or zone plate, you will see dust on the sensor that never appears otherwise ... since these boulders are always in the same place on the frame from a given session, you spot one frame and apply that spotting to all of them. All of those small cloned spots take their toll on other processing operations: LR4.2 is more responsive than LR4.1 when making further editing adjustments to each of those frames. Another—The 29Mpixel 16-bit TIFF files take a moment to load and render, and refresh on edit operations takes a moment. This is slicker and more responsive with LR4.2. Various editing controls like the detail sliders and noise removal work more responsively. The differences aren't huge but they're noticeable, and I haven't seen any regressions. In my opinion, this is a solid bug-fix and new camera support release.
