Hi all, just a heads up, BF published Blender 2.74 RC1 last week but nobody announced it. Now RC2 is on the way, Linux and OSX are available and Windows follow soon.

Test, test, test and report Bug´s, if you can find one.
Cheers, mib
Richard Marklew had announced the RC1 in Blender 2.7x development thread
Still I can not get someone to do this simple test and confirm whether others notice the same problem: http://www.blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?365655-Slow-Cloth-Simulation-in-2-74
