well why dont you bust out the timing light and check it first to see if it's out of spec, if it is then adjust it untill the timing marks line up and it should idle better, if thats the problem of course.
also, is yoru car turbo? under boost depending on what octane your running and if your timing is off then it could cause problems. or at least thats what I think.

^ What he said about the octane. Running premix is just like adding octane booster (in a sense). It reduces the fuels willingness to detonate in the chamber, which is EXACTLY what the higher the octane rating does for you. In essence, you are hurting yourself even more by running higher octane.
Also, look up the procedures on checking timing. Timing being off like you describe it shouldn't hurt the engine. If it was so far off that it was causing detonation problems, you know...
All in all, it sounds like either one big issue or a culmination of little problems (like vaccum) causing this.
