Same here dude, mine did a 40MB update this morning.

This is rather alarming because I still have not received any 40mb updates! yet my .dat is 12.7. Am I worrying/obsessing about nothing?

Probably? Try logging in and see what happens. Chances are you'll log in fine. I just got in first time too
(Hopefully *Touches Wood*)...

I must say though, this test seemed a lot more stable than the first beta weekend did. I had some problems logging in initially, but after that I played for about 3 hours with only one disconnect.
Still spent all my time on the overflow server though, which sucks a bit.

I wouldn't say my experience was more stable. Initially there was the 95% loading problem, then after that was fixed all my characters got stuck in main city hubs, game would crash to login screen if I entered city hubs or the Mists.
So I ended up creating a Char ranger and had tons of fun playing with a buddy, got about 50 minutes of not too bad footage.

I had the 95% loading problem as well, initially, but beyond that it was smooth sailing.

No but trust me, we are still a ways off, you'll have plenty of time to fit DIII in.

Nice. Thanks.

The client is still CPU bound - so pretty much everything was running off your CPU and almost none of it on your graphics card. I assume this has to do with them trying to optimise the client as much as possible, but that's just a guess on my part. I reckon we'll see a jump in performance once all the graphics rendering gets pushed where it belongs.
I noticed some stuttering in the big fights - but I've seen worse.

When I first logged in I couldn't create a new character, kept getting a black screen. So I just decided to play as my old Charr character. After playing for a few minutes I noticed the fps was way worse then the last beta test and I couldn't understand why. Then I checked what GPU my Laptop(Has a hybrid graphics system) was using, and it was the power saving one. Switched over to the high performance GPU and all was good .

I'm quite sure I saw either a tweet or forum post or something where Anet said that the client is only CPU bound for now, and that the better GPU support will be added in at a later stage.

Why on earth not?
I haven't spent a lot of time underwater - but it's definitely not something I can be unhappy about. The concept is executed exceptionally well, and it shows that ANet put a lot of thought and time into it.
