I'm mainly happy about the mac memory issues fix - when I was using it, I had to play on minimum settings and even then occasionally got the error.

An optimization update? That's unusual... I wonder if we'll see more optimization improvements in the future.

I think what's even more unusual is that it's for OS X and Linux systems given that Valve tends to not care that much about those versions of the game.

Valve is developing Linux and made a recent breakthrough in its development. TF2 team propably saw that fitting into their needs and added it into TF2 aswell. Maybe to test out before Valve rolls it into other games.
