    Hey Alan,

    Yes. The manual probably is not brought up-to-date.

    The reason is, before 5.4 f3 when a statically batched renderer uses an instanced shader to batch, neither instancing nor static batching will happen and the rendering goes to a really slow path. We make it go static batching path in 5.4p3, because the original mesh (that is identical among instances) are gone after baking static batches.
