Underfoot Depths as a whole was just as slow as it usually is. It didn't grind down to a go-somewhere-else halt, as it sometimes does when there's a buncha flags out front. Still, had people on decent performance settings hitting 5-10 fps. Part of the general lag problem is things like elemental toxicity, curse of darkness, spell curse, etc. The lag caused by casting those spells goes up exponentially once the target group size clears 4 or 5. On the 15 mob encounters it's not unusual to get to cast one spell, maybe two, during the 12 second fight. Also in Underfoot, lag is significantly higher if you are on the same height level as the majority of the nearby area. Master Syfak's road, AMU's upper platform, etc. If your z-axis goes up or down by any noticeable amount then lag clears up somewhat.
