> the performance enhancements they claim to have realized have to come from somewhere

Even in the first beta, the performance enhancements are real. Numerous Apple folks, including Craig Federighi, have said that with WatchOS1 and 2 they 'overshot' how conservative they needed to be with RAM and CPU (out of respect for battery life), and with WatchOS 3 they have rebalanced that.

Time will tell how much of a hit battery life will take from this, but for a beta things look good so far.
