It's been a piss poor emulation of PS2 for over 3 years, so I doubt they'll be patching jack any time soon. My computer can run Doom3 cranked all the way up without skipping a beat... but you try to play FFXI on it... no beans. Even the drivers I'm currently using don't fix all of the problems. I still drop to about 10 FPS after a teleport (near crag crystals) or during certain spell animations and certain glowing things (cutscenes with the Shadow Lord).
That's weird, I play on PC and don't have any troubles you mention other than server lag (in beseiged and sometimes dynamis). Yes, it is piss poor emulation I will agree, but if you are having troubles like that I think you might need more RAM. It's hard to compare a MMO to a single player FPS -- especially when in an MMO, RAM and processing speed plays a bigger part in performance than the actual video card.
