Last Borderlands 2 patch improves performance

Most games that get a "performance" update generally result in a shrug and a frown. But for Borderlands 2 on the Vita, every extra fraction of performance, improvement in texture loading or other boost is very welcome.

It is good to see Iron Galaxy (now working on Killer Instinct for console) still working on the title, although they mention on Twitter that this will be the final update, so enjoy it while you can.
