Pretty much. I barely notice it playing.

Yeah that's exactly the problem with them. Presently it is too ineffectual to rush towards masonry straight off and build them. The question is does having 2 workers instead of 1 change that? There's a few scenarios I'm thinking about:
1) If you build no workers at all but just push towards the pyramids you can maybe build them by turn 50 or so. I don't have CiV in front of me ATM but I think it'll be about 25+ to research it and another 25 or so to build it. That seems to long to wait for your first worker so I think that's kind of a dud option.
2) Build 1 worker and then aim towards pyramids. With the worker and chopping and such you can probably shave 10 turns or so off the cost. This will leave you with 3 upgraded workers. If you are planning on a REX this might be a good option depending on your available resources and tech path and such. But did this approach actually save you a lot over just building / buying a worker when you needed it? I feel like I shouldn't go out of my way to get the pyramids... but at the same time if I'm heading that way anyways or have extra bonuses to building them this might be a valid option.
I agree with Martin though. An extra +GE point would've been a better option. Or maybe even a +3 in the building city permanently or something.
To those having trouble following the patch, the standard things to try are:
-Restart Steam
-If still not working, right click the game and choose Propertiers -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
I wonder if anything along these lines would be effective:
- hopefully get 1 culture ruin, take citizenship as 2nd policy, use to improve & chop
- Build Pyramids early as possible, then immediately build settler
- Take free settler as 3rd policy (before settling settler #2)
- Have 3 cities, with 3 fully upgraded workers, very early
- Profit ?
Not sure how the timing will work out but seems intriguing.
This seems like a recipe for getting attacked to me. Where are the military units?
The patch just downloaded for me as well (85mb ish).

In my current game, the city state of Seoul turned into Kathmandu.
You won't see another large patch. The game is what it is.
They have absolutely no reason not release an expansion. Each expansion will net ~$30, and it is the only way the game will get the major changes necessary to move from vanilla to ... They've got a good revenue model releasing DLCs each couple of months to keep the money flowing AND releasing expansions approximately yearly to cash in on the game's success. Look for the expansion in the fall.
Maybe 2K ought to charge money for patches/upgrades. That should give the ungrateful customers something more to b#^@% about.
I'm pissed that they released a terrible game that ruined one of my favorite gaming franchises. The fact that I spent $50 for the game is just an additional slap to the face.
