Question on performance: I have had some performance issues with some servers, despite having reduced graphics settings and a quite high spec pc (7800x3d, 64gb, 4TB ssd, rtx4070, water cooling). I was told that I could backup my saved games folder, remove DCS, reinstall DCS, and move the saved games folder back. Is that known to preserve my settings, binds, etc, and improve performance?

For the settings OK, but I can't understand why reinstalling will give You more performance only on some server that actually give You bad performance. As stated that are only "some server" have You tried to analyze it?
Wich servers (ping)?
Wich map?
How many players when You connect?
I think that this is the way to go for debug.

A full repair is the same as a re-installation. The one who told you was wrong.

as max stated, one never has to reinstall the sim. all of the performance issues are located in the saved games folder for DCS. rename your \saved games\DCS folder to .BAK, then full repair. then run DCS without the \saved games\DCS folder. there will be a new DCS folder fresh. then copy over just the input folder from the old DCS to the same place in the new DCS \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\config\Input (my folder states openbeta but the idea is the same)

It will not improve performance.
If you have problem just on some specific server, it may be possible that the server are too overloaded of active units to be smooth for everyone.
Nothing that you can solve on your end, if on other server in the same map you have better performance.

sorry i was not very clear. my intention was to answer the OP question within the effects of DCS settings. misconfigured, the settings can surely affect performance. once a clean slate is established in DCS, we can work outside of DCS to look at graphics drivers & settings, windows settings, etc. after all, DCS is such a tender animal to most and many do not have the expertise to troubleshoot without some sort of outside help.

maybe a good idea to put some limits on what servers should be presenting. or at least put some clear disclaimers in the official notices about the effects of MP.

the published requirements for DCS mentions nothing about MP requirements, or how server sizing or missions depth affects performance. there are many folks playing a great sim that are not technically proficient and cannot fathom the differences between SP and MP performance.

this is not meant to be a DCS bashing. i am a firm supporter of ED and DCS. i have over $1200 invested in modules, terrains, and campaigns (29 total). untold amount spent on hardware just to be able to play it. i think its great and getting better.

After some extensive troubleshooting with some help from someone on discord, I managed to find the culprit and make some improvements to my pc settings as well. 
the culprit was tacview. Once that was switched off in dcs, performance increased tremendously.
