All I recall was rectangles that divided the map, and building up huge 'armies' of little dwarves/elves/humans/hobbits etc and sending them into the next rectangle. And that it involved a lot of waiting for more little computer people to be born, so one could do it again.

Are you using mipmaps? That landscape looks like it should not be that heavy.. Of course that depends on what hardware you're running it on.. If you want, I could take a peek (even though I'm not into directx myself). How many primitives are you rendering in one batch? Are you using mipmaps?

That IS optimized. I'm not sure how to get it to run any better. I guess I'll have to do frustum culling; that's going to be a pain in the butt. Sigh. That IS optimized.
