SW Simulation 2016

What's the concensus on SW 2016 for Simulation?  Is it more robust and stable than 2015?  We are on v15, SP 5 and are seeing problems with meshing (it seems to take control of the window and takes the cursor back for every part meshed) and we are getting 'lock-ups' for no apparent reason.  Also, the batch mode is a step backwards since it solves sequentially instead of parallel as it did in 2014.
