I got a modest but noticable performance boost after that Steam update (London slide show now nearly playable), but I am pretty sure it wasn't the update. I think it was from deleting my cache which I do before updating and that might increase fps. All speculation and empirical evidence, sorry.
One thing that is not speculation, there is no CoD patch until the version number changes.

Agreed
Video can be affected by so many variables that it is hard to say exactly which one 'thing' caused it.
That and it really does not make sense to me to put out a small patch just days before the planned big patch.
IMHO the only way that would make sense to someone is if they can answer 'YES' to all of the following questions:
1) (Y/N) Does it make sense to have members of your software team developing a patch to fix 'video A', and at the same time have your software team developing a patch that is going to replace 'video A' with 'video B' just days later?
2) (Y/N) Does it make sense to have members of your software team develop and release a patch that does not change the version number?
Again, just my way of looking at it (line of reasoning)
I could be wrong, crazier things have happened in this world.
But, based on that I think the 20meg update from a few days ago had more to do with STEAM than a CoD vidoe patch.. call me crazy!
