Performance of T3D

I work with the tge already a while and after putting plenty of work into the engine, I can make a nice little multiplayer game out of it (needed lots of work)
One reason is the use of zones you can use them to improof the perfomance and the fps, you might have some big jumps form 15 to 38 FPS (by running into a building and out) but it works well. The zones and its portals hepl a lot when it comes to multiplayer gaming.
How does the T3d engine work with that, it doesn`t support zones. So what is the trick to let many people play in one game and still let it performe nice.
The T3D looks good but since the howl thing started I couldn`t find real usefull informations about the perfomance issues of the T3D engine.
Is there anybody that can give us real basic information about what can be done with T3D and how to improof the perfomance of T3D and its FPS.
Thanks!!!
kind regards

Maybe there is a better engine for indies, when it comes to multiplayer online games (First Person Shooter or action games).
The Shadertech. look really nice in T3D.
The example version eventhough the desert level was not packed with shapes, the perfomance was really bad.

Thanks alot for the reply, have you done any testing about perfomance of T3D looking forward to make multiplayer online games?Maybe there is a better engine for indies, when it comes to multiplayer online games (First Person Shooter or action games).

BSP indoors work the same way as before. There hasn't been any change there.
Additionally, Torque 3D has a new visibility culling mechanism in the form of zones and portals that can be hand-placed in the editor--not unlike what previously was supported for interiors only that this isn't coupled to a specific type of geometry.
