I know the feeling and have felt the same way before myself.  It's nice to
know it isn't just me.  =)

Also, some of them are running the game with the video cranked all the way
to 1600x1200 with all the eye-candy at maximum.

You're absolutely right and I handle it the same way.  I've just experienced
some degraded performance myself on occasion and am always on the prowl for
tweaks that make gameplay the best it can be.  I guess it's just frustrating
to me when the promise of better performance is crushed by something quirky
like this.
