Press ESC *or F10*.
Go to Video Options.
Click "High". I don't care if your computer sucks. Click it and shut up.
Go to the Advanced Tab.
Disable shadows completely.
If you are on a laptop, scroll down to the system texture cache bar and maximize it.
Click Apply, then OK.
There is a bug that causes low settings to actually produce worse FPS than high settings. With the shadows disabled, you can actually play better on high settings than low.
-_-
So in my own instance during a quest my FPS went from 30-80! The world i'm usually at 30-50 which on low I ran 25-30. Weird!!!
When your FPS drops, make sure it's not the shader bug where it reverts to 3.0 from 2.0.
This worked wonders for me.
OP forgot to say this trick is for low computers, like monocore proc and AGP card configurations.
With a decent config (E8200, 2Gb RAM, 8800GT) you can run the game in "High" Settings with full shadows + AA without any problems.
