Don't be silly, the game clearly doesn't run as well as it should at its level of fidelity. With that said, optimization is usually the last thing done in development cycle, so depending on what they're planning content-wise, there may be some waiting on that end yet.
Even more silly is you thinking it has performance issues. There is none. You didnt event provide any facts about the game having perf issues.
Sure fine polish optimization is done last, but the game runs perfect. those having issues are having the issues on their end, not the game. This is just stating the obvious... Next time, say something that is actually saying something, not stating something generic which tells nothing, but just how little you apparently know about games.
In case you didnt know, there was a performance issue with how they handled the terrain and it was already optimized. Here's an actual fact for you.
Despite some people claiming the game runs perfect for them and that it has no issues it's a documented fact that it does not run perfectly for everyone. Some people have had crashes and lost their saves. Some have had FPS drops that make the game unplayable. Some of it is tied to the terrain and they did some work to fix that, but the game still isn't fully optimized and won't be for a while. Until it is some people will continue to have performance issues with the game.
Still don't believe that some people are having issues? Go here:

I'm happy it works well for most people but I can tell you that I've had some minor issues, the majority were FPS related, but they've mostly been worked out with just a few tweaks to the settings and by avoiding huge builds and by not doing a lot of terrain modification.
I've seen dozens of posts from people with systems far better than mine who have had issues with the game's performance, even with tweaked settings. I've also seen a few people playing on potatoes that run it with very few problems, and sometimes no issues at all.
It can be primarily attributed to one single thing.

Yes, this.
Once the game is properly optimized and I would be willing to bet a huge number of the issues people are seeing related to performance will be solved. For now, though, players are going to see issues here and there until the game's a lot further along in the development cycle.
