I would use old models, turn off effects and names, stare at the ground and fight or twist resists. lol
EQ2 is still that way. And Planetside. Sony just isn't the best when it comes to engine optimizations. (They are getting better though I think... PS2 had some performance patches recently that help, but older games won't get the same treatment.)
