Thanks to Jeff Hanson for the following post!
With each development cycle the Revit team works to develop new
features, enhance or expand existing functionality, and improve the
overall performance of Revit. The 2015 development cycle was no
different in this respect and overall performance of Revit 2015 has
increased when tested against Revit 2014.
Of particular note is the performance of graphics related
operations. In our tests we saw the greatest improvements in raster
image operations (move, cop, array, etc…), view navigation, and element
selection.
This year’s Revit development also included a project that alters the
internal family data structure which optimizes some computation heavy
update operations that are triggered when the model is changed. In some
cases we have seen performance in these areas improved up to 30%.
Because of the calculation intensive nature of Revit MEP, separate
performance statistics are kept for MEP functions and MEP heavy project
files. The performance increases for MEP were found to be similar. MEP
specific performance tests also showed increase in performance in most
areas from 2014 to 2015.
You can of course test and rate the performance of Revit on your
hardware and using your projects to see if you get similar results as
our tests. Revit Forum has its own bench mark test. You can find more
information on how to run your own test in this thread.

Give Revit 2015 performance a test of your own and let us know what you find!
