Performance, instancing of three-alliance PvE zones

You know what's odd? Since we could have 12 character slots I finally made a couple of characters outside of DC, figuring that it no longer mattered in One Tamriel and it might be fun to hang with some PvP frenemies from time to time doing Cyrodiil fishing or the like in their alliance.
I went to cities and noticed that in places where EP or AD population was super-higher the performance was, of course, poor. But then going to the same place on a DC character where no one really hung out the performance was... exactly the same.
This made me think that perhaps the instancing worked per sub-zone.
Then One Tamriel comes along and weirdly the performance isn't worse thus far isn't actually worse and I think it's because we were, by and large, already in the same instances, just invisible to one another. Then overflow instances were used as needed (although to save money the pop cap on subzones was set way, way too high).
Now the thing I worry about isn't performance but where to hang out where there's not a bajillion idiots spamming chat and shards everywhere.

✭✭Well I got to say there has been people saying its been laggy but one thing noticeable is loading in is not nearly as long as it was. Its definitely faster. Some times it will take like two minutes to load into the charater screen now it does not take that long and loading into the game is not nearly as long as it was before one tamriel.Edited by Thevampirenight on October 6, 2016 3:25AMPC NA

✭✭✭Here's another fun thing about One Tamriel: I got to photobomb myself giving @timidobserver a hug from behind without getting instantly obliterated in Cyrodiil.

I'm comparing the lagginess-per-amount-of-people-hanging-out-and-spamming-skills, though.
I parked all my characters in places where you'd never see other people oftentimes and the performance wasn't good. Going to Daggerfall was pretty bad. Wrothgar was horrific, as was Gold Coast, even when no one was around. Seems less bad now if you take into account the number of people around.0 -

✭✭✭I've run into hiccups here and there, not so much in Craglorn with 8 million people standing around but in Stonefalls where I was looking for Stonefalls Treasure Map II (which appears to be under player housing now). I fell into an inescapable pit and there were people dueling there. The performance there - even when they were holding still not doing anything - was pretty iffy.0
