it doesn't freeze for me and is very fluid for sculpting. the new poly counts i can reach are awesome and easily enough for me. no need for zbrush at all.

the new indirect lighting is nice too.

@frank: alpha and beta versions usually come towards the end of a project. the graph doesn't mean that only 20% of blender 2.5 are done.
