I was wondering if I should update from BOINC 7.14.2 to the new 7.16.11 that recently came out. Will it increase performance? Are there new features? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Since BOINC doesn't do any work - that's solely done by the projects science applications - a newer version will not increase performance.
But there have been bug fixes in 7.16.11, the one you'll most probably want are the fixes to certificates for contact with projects. The rest can be read at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release_Notes
