I'd probably use AA if I had a computer that could handle it. What is this shimmering though? I don't think I understand. I might know what that is, but that's usually related to using non-standard resolutions, or a different aspect ratio "stretched" to your screen, so you should be able to get around it if it is indeed the case.

What mcmatt said makes a whole lot of sense. If you don't have enough memory on your graphics card, everything starts going much, much slower. It might just be that other games don't use as much memory, and so switching to a lower resolution doesn't have the same impact as going from needing too much memory to having enough memory. Just another guess...
