I'm pretty sure they released it as is for a simple reason money. I seem to recall them running out of money in Nov. but they held off because it was even in less of a ready state I am sure.
Comparing it to a FPS with smaller maps and less hard number crunching is and always will be unfair. Just because you can do simple arithmetic with relative ease doesn't mean you can expect to do as well in Calculus.
It has problems, but making a new thread for each and every person that feels this way is ridiculous. The developers are and will continue to work on it, and in time we will see improvement. As I understand it there was a decent improvement for many with just the first patch, and I would expect that to be true for each consecutive patch.
If you have some technical issues go to the Technical Issues sub-forum, and look through the FAQ and threads already there. Clogging up general discussion to say "WAAAAAH! MY PERFORMANCE!" isn't accomplishing anything for you or the developers.
