I can assure you, for people with lower end machines it is most certainly not glorious. My friend who has a 3.7 Ghz dual core CPU cannot run the game at all due to a whopping high of 6 FPS.

I hope (& he does) that this latest patch will bring the game up to speed with its required specs so everyone who has bought it can actually play it.

There's a surprising amount of FPS gain if you go into CCC and turn everything off apart from 2x AA.
Turn off all 'allow application to decide' settings, and turn off AA in the game.
Mine's an i7 860 @ 2.8ghz, 6 gig ram and a 5770, so not 'uber'. I now get 20-25fps on Very High graphic settings, once I'm off the ground and away from all the grass!

My brother has a Core2 Duo E6850 @ 3.5ghz, 4 gig ram and a 4670, and gets 15fps over the sea on medium settings. Not good, but playable (just). His processor is only running at 30% capacity with the game running.
Give it a bit of time and a few patches and we'll all be raving about it.

The OP is correct, the game is absolutely Glorious.
