Has ZOS got further ideas to help with server performance? [ IC Patch +]

You have put in new LOS checks and that is supposed to help with the lag, yet on the first day of PTS for NA, it was lagging quite considerably in there. Yes i know the PTS isnt the live server but IC testing is all small scale SINGLE TARGET fighting. No one is using AoEs like we see with groups. AoEs are what are causing the lag in large keep battles yet the IC was being lagged out by single target abilities.
Is the PTS server so bad that it cant handle that? Whats the PTS server capabilties compared to live? Im not looking very hopeful as to the lag being fixed at all in actual Cyro on live. If its the same/worse, what are your next goals/plans? Do you have any in place? Will you consider the ideas that others have put on this forum?
Me personally, i would like to see this change be implemented : http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/207209/zos-what-are-the-chances-of-having-at-least-one-of-the-new-campaigns-cap-at-16-man-groups - The less players that can easily follow crown, the more chance that they wont contribute to the lag.
And the age old idea/topic of aoe cap removal. Remove caps only in cyrodiil if you want to keep PvE the same. This single change would relieve your servers. Why would you have a player cap of hitting 60 people max when you cant fight more then 24 without lagging out everything. It makes no sense to keep these checks here. http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/207550/why-do-zergs-get-57-5-free-damage-reduction highlights why everyone wants to run in giant groups. You take less damage and dont die. Skills would need to be altered damage/healing wise but that wouldnt be nearly as hard as trying to fix Cyrodiil.
TL;DR - What are the further plans to help server performance in Cyrodiil? Communication with us on this is really key. Yes you are releasing a brand new toy, but what happens when this new toy cant be played with? When the PvE players come to the forums and ask why they cant do their quests or kill mobs.
