I run the default installation of GW on my machine without the sluggishness you describe. My pc specs are:
Pentium P4 3GHz
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon X300se (many on this forum have said this is a poor graphics card)
Soundblaster soundcard
Frame rates in port are around 25-30fps. If I start rotating my view however, it can drop to 15-20fps which causes a slight stutter. In bad weather at sea I get around 30-40fps. To be honest it wasn't much different in the stock game. I can live with this slight stutter in port because GW is a great enhancement to the game overall.

Hmmm. I find in heavy weather, I'm getting 5-12 fps. What do you have your Anti Aliassing and Antisotropic filtering set to? I currently run AA at 6x with temporal enabled and ASF at 16X

Not sure on the settings of AA and ASF, I'm at work so can't check, but if I remember I'll have a look and let you know.

I have checked my AA and ASF settings and both are set to 'Application Preference'. I don't know if colour quality makes any difference, but mine is set to 16 bit. Someone said in the forums that this setting makes the graphic card work harder thus reducing fps, but I am not sure of this as I always understood that the less colours the card has to draw the faster fps you get. I was playing SHIII this morning in heavy seas i.e. the waves were crashing over my conning tower submerging the lookouts and I was getting fluctuating fps between 20-40 slightly lower at the bottom end than I quoted above. The only part of the game that I tend to get a real slow down of fps is in periscope view when the lens gets covered in water and then trickles down the lens, I get about 10-15fps.
