based on the stick set up it is obvious that the game was set up for jsticks with 2 four pov hats . There are a lot of sticks with one 8 pov hat. With my sidewinder there are work arounds(set base button for key 5 then move hat for up views). This is awkward and doesnt really give you any way to make a smooth transition from,up, to up foward, to foward. In a game where split second vview access can mean winning or flameing. This is a real pain. The 5 key being on the side means there is no way to set a macro for each 45 deg. view. A stick setup like AW or WB, with a stick set 2 option, would get rid of the profiler all together. I would think this would help with the frame rate.
