I made a mistake here, they do have more than 1 programmer so my apologise for posting that info as it was not true. I misrememberd a post by Luthier which said: "3. We continue to optimize the game. Our chief programmer - the optimizer is sick the third day, but it does have a concrete plan of work, which again is in a fairly short period of time will improve the framerate. Wonders of course we do not promise, but the flight over the landscape will be dramatically different than the flights have to water."
I normally would ammend my original post by adding this but as to not cause confusion (since you already quoted me) I removed the comment to prevent further confusion.
