Dragon fight causes MAJOR server lag - for next season, either fix this or disable the fight

In terms of bugs/issues, I think this should be considered one of the top priority issues to address for next season. If an enderdragon fight starts, the dragon can cause MAJOR tps lag. This is a BIG issue as it not only affects those in the fight, but EVERYONE on the server. When the TPS is this low, you get lagged back just for trying to move (this might actually be caused by the anticheat combined with the lag, but not sure about this). PVP in this low TPS I also imagine would likely be awful. Right now this isn't as big of an issue, as the playerbase is small and most of the active players know to avoid fighting the dragon, but when next season releases, existing players return, and new players join, I can see this being a big issue if not addressed in some way. If this issue can't easily be fixed (reported this a while ago, not sure if it's been troublesome to figure out) I think it would be best to disable the fight until the issue is fixed.
The other bosses and dungeon (at least as far as I was able to progress) have been fine performance wise, it's just this 1 boss that is awful.
Some info that may be helpful for devs (just killed the dragon for the first time today). The lag seems to be worst when the dragon is flying (which at least for me, occurred about halfway into the fight). I think it may be related to the dragon's "breath" attack but not sure about this.
