Changes are not related to other parts. Make sure you are checking well. Otherwise share your examples.

Checking are ok. Changing material properties works fine but adding materials updates
new after 15-30 seconds. Never had this before in previous versions. Even updatinggeometry changes is slugish. This is scene with a lot of generators. I will test more

Camera navigation update and this is not related. It should be scene specific, even maybe driver or viewport related.

- xpGroup object support

Awesome! THX!

I have noticed Camera movement has started to not update in LV window in some cases: when I am using "Takes", and I copy the set camera and keep using the Take set camera, I need to change the set camera and back to make it responsive in the Liveview window.
I may make a video if it sounds too confusing to understand.
Otherwise R4 is working great!

Yes please! I'm not seeing issues on my usages, maybe because I'm not using takes. Btw these are not related with latest update, maybe was here and you notified now.

True! I think it started on 2021.1.4 R3 or even before. Will post .gif shortly.
