Is there any chance of having the new functionality documented? The
evaluate documentation is unchanged from beta 6.

I know that the changes were discussed in various threads, but I got a
bit confused thought that the outcome was that almost all of the
functionality of evaluate had been moved into the non-evaluate code, and
that the evaluate keyword was effectively redundant. What does evaluate
still do that causes such a large increase in render times?
