Had this issue a long time on my Dell. I found that filling in all the resolution areas except Startup(instead of the -1, -1) cleared up almost all lag in processing and jumps that I'd had.
Window, Background, and Menu: Set to your resolution(Background set to higher can make the game much nicer looking but lets stick to what I've seen work).
Startup: -1, -1
I went from ~ 10-22fps to 24-32fps.
For some odd reason, when I set it to my actual desktop resolution, the window for FFXI is much bigger than the actual resolution of my screen.

in my experience ffxi doesnt run very well with intel hd gfx due to intels terrible dx8 driver support. on my laptop with similar specs to the surface pro 3, core i5 4th gen with intel hd 4600, i managed to get it running with constant 30 fps with a bacground resolution of 1024×576 the lowest 16:9 resolution! regular resolution i just had at 1280x720 as thats just menus anyway. looked pretty awful but at least it was smooth! The game either has to be locked at 30 fps or 60 fps otherwise it's really laggy.
How do I go about locking the framerate? I could only find windower as a means, and windower I believe is banned on this server.
