Question re: Increasing PS4 Conan Exiles Server Player Capacity

I operate a PS4 server for my friends. It was a 20 person server, and we were hitting some increasing lag issues, stuttering and invisible enemies (I know, nothing new in the Exiled Lands), so I’ve increased the capacity to 30 players, hoping that we’d see some kind of stability boost if we actually never had more than 20 players.

So, the question, directed at other Server Admins: When increasing player capacity from 20 to 30, or even up to 40, does your server get any increased power, or capability to handle the larger pool of players??

Essentially the question boils down to: do we get a benefit for paying for more player slots (other than more player slots), or do we just have more traffic on the same hardware, etc, possibly leading to increased lag/stuttering and other ill effects of poor server performance?

Thanks

EDIT: I’ve posted the same question at G-Portal Forums, figured I’d check here for insight too.

Here’s the response from G-Portal, I think it is a very indirect way of saying no :

They do not limit CPU/RAM usage, so it would seem what you get for 20 is the same as what you get for 30 or 40 players…

Thoughts? Am I misreading the info?

Ok, got another update. Sounds like it does come with some kind of increased performance support… I’ll try to report back on if we feel performance is better.
