Yes these patches are independent - for the type question you can consider
1/5 - feature
2/5 - bug fix
3,4,5/5 - yeah what is it .. neither a pure bug fix nor a feature let's call 
it "performance fix"

We tested most of those performance fixes at least 1.5 Months now, having them 
applied while developing new things on top and I feel very good with 3&4.
It would be nice if at least the performance fixes 3&4 could go in now under 
the bug fix label too, but it's up to you.
