Any plans on optimization?

[Rimmer]

Running the game currently on 1680x1050 Resolution fullscreen, 6x QSAA, Standard on textures, low/disabled shadows, standard draw distance setting, max texture filters/ whatever the other option was, i still get alot of choppiness through the game sometimes, but its mostly in main cities which are expected to be a bit more demanding, although with the amount of money i spent building my rig i was expecting to get alot more performance on XIV, but obviously i was wrong. The Black Shroud seems to be the worst actual zone regarding frame rates for me no matter what my settings are.
This is my build:

i7 960 @ 3.2Ghz (Stock)
Rampage 3 Extreme mobo
12GB DDR3 1600MHZ Corsair Vengeance RAM
128 Cruicial Real SSD
MSI Nvidia GTX580

Although i seem to recall a pretty detailed thread back on FFXIV some months ago regarding FFXIV requiring alot more CPU processing power rather than using the GPU more but im not totally sure., i certainly think it needs some more optimizations.

I too custom made a beast PC for this game right before it went live.

I too use SDD.

When I turn on the option for Depth of Field, the game is very choppy.

When I turn this option off, I have no more choppiness.

I have the same results with depth on field, it just doesnt like my setup.
