Definitive Proof of Poor Optimization, Requesting a Fix/Work-Around

[Syx]

SE stated they plan to release the DX11 client in 2014, but that is as accurate a release date as they provided. The cpu/gpu usage percentages are basically the indication of the amount of overhead involved in D3D9 rendering. How amusing is it that 25-50% of the cpu/gpu time is spent waiting for data to be passed around the rendering pipeline. You may even notice a single core up around 90% with the others at 60%. That would be the D3D9 thread synchronization process, so multiple threads don't attempt to lock the same asset and perform the same work.
