The problem we had with SD performance was netcode. Even though we had a dedicated server, the 1st person into a world chunk acts as the server for that chunk. Fine if everyone is spread out, but 9 of you pile in for a boss fight but the SD user is the first there, he's the server for the fight

Weird. You'd think the dedicated server would have specific chunks like the boss spawns ran by the server directly.
