Performance issues still a problem?

I played this game in Beta and its performance was horrible. I look at videos on IGN and youtube that were posted in the last month and I still see a lot of jerking and jitter.
Has anyone run this game and had reasonably smooth performance?

The performance is a lot better then it was but still it's still laggy even with your settings turned to "Highest Performance". Might just be server lag though. To compare, I can run EQ2 on pretty high settings without any problems but I can't with Vanguard.
Still has it's problems like hitching when you first enter the game, crossing chunk lines and entering new area's and major built up area's. The devs have done a good job to solve alot of the performance issue's, but still have a way to go to completely solve it. The game runs smooth for the most part and I'm lucky enough to only experience the above issues for a few seconds at most.
Well i finally got my new pc put together.
680i, q6600, 4gb 800mhz sli ram, striped 7200rpm hd's and my gt8800.
Without overclocking anything, straight out of the boxes i was getting 90-105 fps outside of cities and 25-40fps inside cities.
I still experienced a little hitching.
I'm thinking i can up the clock on my gpu a bit and probably bring my ram up to around 1000mhz and get to 50-60 fps in cities.
Oh and this was on High Quality.
The cool thing is i loaded up EQ2 and put it on EXTREME QUALITY.. man Qeynos looks pretty. Barely had a hitch at all too. I hate that game but some of it sure looks nice.
Make a difference!
for me I get better performance in Vanguard then I do in eq2. I don't get any hitching in eq2 but on eq2 I can't play on max quality. In vg I can play on max and I get at least as good an fps as in eq2 and in many cased better and in some cases much better.
I do however get some hitching in vg but it is nothing like at release and it is generally a one time event in a new area. Generally it is now a minor inconvenience that I see as being a tradeoff for having no zoning screens.
Oh I have a pretty high end system. Intel 2.4ghz quad core, 4gb ram, 8800gtx running with Vista 64.

No performance issues here at all.
E8400 @ 3.8GHz
4GB Corsair Dominator
150GB WD Raptor 10K rpm HDD
9800GX2 @ 750 MHz
Vista 64
Pretty smooth from the comp's side, still some lag issues and a bit of hitching here and there, and the very occasional bizarre and inexplicable slowdown, but mostly well playable (40-50fps on average) on Highest/Ultra settings at 1280x1024, on:
E7200 @ 3.8Ghz
4GB RAM
MSI 8800GTS 320mb OC
Gigabyte GA-P35-3DSL
OCZ StealthXStream 600W psu
Seagate Barracuda 250G h/d
WinXP Pro
Thanks for the information
I gather that burly 64-bit architecture machines are up to the task; I have one of them here so I shall give it a shot.
