You are talking about a brick count up in the millions. It will lag regardless of what they do to the engine.
That, or the server will be made out of 32x cubescape.

More bricks = more lag
You can't run a really big lag-free server without using terrain or interiors.

true, true.
But with the complication that terrains and interiors make, even kompressor said, that the removal of them will make the game faster.

Anyway, whether they depend on it, terrains and interiors are still being remove, no matter how much you hate it.

He said that bricks are at 90% total speed because of terrain and interiors.
That means it will be only a 10% speed increase, and that will be more than twice over slowed by shadows and especially shaders.

they don't have to be enabled... so it boosts the speed even more.
