optimization? the game was in dev for 5 years before release...it came out of the gate with no doc, no dedicated server soft and very little content...at the very least it should have been optimised at release.

Ohh ... this is an interesting theory, I did not understand you at first but now is more clear.
But ... I recall that this hick-ups (no fps affected) are not in the old build, they was micro-freezes (fixed in the new build).
But you are right ... it can be a interop problem but I think that can be caused by the issue of left the tree and grass code aside of the new build that is in the Alpha patch, so the ddl dependence is high.
Has is written in the know-issues list in BlackSix patch post, the tree and grass optimizations was not complete but it will be in a few days.
Anyway we´ll see this soon
By the way, to clear misunderstandings in the DX9/10/11 debate :
Of course you can made a game with DX9/10/11 support but what I was saying is that by doing it you´ll not fully use the DX11/10 possibilities.
That´s it.
