I felt performance was fine for me, butter smooth on a [email protected], 16Gb ram and 6950@6970 speeds.
What spec?
Mine was fairly smooth even with a large 40-50 people fight in the Frozen Maw against an uber-mob, only got a GTX460 and i5 3750, neither overclocked and neither was over 50% utilisation.
That just proves that it's unoptimised.
If it were optimised it would be silky smooth and using all available resources to make it so.
Instead it's bottlenecked somewhere, hence it's only 'fairly smooth' and only half of your GPU and CPU power was being utilised.

A 3570k should cope when the going gets tough?

There are currently NO end game/high level areas in the game, so this wish isn't going to happen.
Besides which I'm 100% certain that the devs do NOT want to spoil what's available @ end-game before release, it's a beta after all, and not a end-game demo.

Aren't mmo's notoriously cpu bound?
I don't know it's like they are holding the CPU back on mines roughly 40% getting used on my comp with my 6970

MMO's have always been CPU bound, don't think there's an MMO in existance that isn't.

I didn't seem to have a problem with performance, I have a 550ti with i3 processor. I'm not that clued up but I did have everything on 5 visual wise.

Not sure what was happening to my system on the Sunday afternoon/evening. Lot's of serious crashing to black screens, requiring restarts. I hadn't changed anything at my end and the beta ran happy as Larry on the Friday/Saturday. The system been stable ever since too...
This is with my A8-3870k. Though I'll certainly be getting a dedicated GFX when a release date finally rears its head.

Game performed fine with everything maxed. That may be due to my recent GPU upgrade though 
The patch notes for BWE2 do mention the performance as a known issue http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates

Thats due to your cpu, as it says in that thing.
It definetley is cpu bound, and heavily. I was getting about 30fps on all of the settings. Shouldn't be happening. I have an overclocked Phenom II quad core processor. Any game should be running well on that, especially on minimum settings. They'll need to get all of this sorted out before release.

I had a decent time with my 5850 with everything maxed out. Couple of freezes in cities but otherwise great. Slight drop with the shadow behemoth but playable. I can see this game stealing a big part of my life for the next few years.
Hmm well I had a torrid time with a 5850 (well 2 but crossfire did nothing so I left it dissabled) and a Phenom II 965.
Pretty much the same here, but with a single 6950. I think it's evident that they haven't optimized properly for all processors yet. They should, hopefully, fix it before release.
I have a Phenom 955 at 3.2GHz, and a 5850. As I mentioned previously, my performance was excellent. And bearing in mind it's not using all the GPU yet, it'll only get better. Mind you, I can't speak for the 5830 and what performance you'll expect to get.
