If you're going to hold out for perfection, you'll still be waiting when the last ember of the last star evaporates.
It works. And will continue to work. The problem isn't that the hardware isn't up to the task, the problem is that the players will inevitably push the hardware to its limits. Give them a server capable of handling a ten-thousand-versus-ten-thousand megabattle in real-time without issue, and both sides will bring twenty thousand.
The OP is an idiot.

Works: Verb. Functioning as intended. Does what it is supposed to do.
What TiDi is supposed to do is make fleet fights fair. It's supposed to allow them to happen at all.
Its function is NOT to make them happen perfectly, nor to open a door to the happy sunshine sparkle land of cake and panties where everything meets your unrealistic expectations. It's job is just to make sure that you don't stare at a black screen for two hours and then find out you were podded within the first 20 seconds.
In this regard, it works perfectly.
OP continues to demonstrate his idiocy.

Idiocy is a luxury, certainly. I emphatically disagree that it's a virtue.

You will never convince me that pushing my warp-to button and waiting 45 minutes to land is realtime gameplay anymore, EvE with TiDi effectively turns regions of space into a localized turn-based MMO.
It's not supposed to be realtime gameplay. It's. Just. supposed. To. Be. SOME. Gameplay. as opposed to zero.
Get this into your head: TiDi is not, and was never intended to be, the wardrobe leading to some kind of Sex Narnia. all it does and all that it has ever been intended to, advertised and described as doing was to make the difference between a minimum standard of some gameplay, however lousy, and no gameplay at all. If that minimum standard is below your tolerance threshold, then GTFO and find something else to do where you won't encounter it. It's not hard, EVE is a big game, and fleet fights of that size are the exception, not the rule.
and this whole "the 'massive fleet battle' of EvE online is a LIE." thing is pure nonsense. It DID happen. The fact that it happened in super slow-mo doesn't invalidate the fact that massive fleets were there, battling, in EVE Online.
When four thousand people are all being tracked by the same computer which is having to deal with all of their different ping speeds, you will get problems. End of story. The technology to handle that kind of scenario flawlessly and in realtime simply does not exist, and may never.
So what's happening here is that you've gone into McDonald's, demanded a woolly mammoth steak, and are insulting them when, rather than giving you nothing at all they instead serve you a quarter pounder meal. Never mind that the steak you want simply doesn't exist, never mind that no restaurant in the world could meet that unreasonable request. they haven't given you what you feel you're entitled to and in your world the customer is always right, even if they're asking for unicorn eggs over easy.
Sure, a McDonald's burger is never going to be the equal of a good steak. or even a good burger. But it's still better than nothing at all. And when the other customers point out just what a colossal jackass you're being, you call it "Stockholm Syndrome".
I'm done with you. You've got the kind of stupid that's not cured by an Internet argument.

We totally should, because you totally are.

And your average Pentium D had vastly more processing power and memory than all of the computers that were used in the entirety of the Apollo program combined.
Hell, my CAR probably has more processing power than that, just to be able to play the MP3s off my USB stick.

Just putting it in perspective. And this guy's whining about how one of the most sophisticated and powerful HPC clusters in the world isn't able to accomplish the impossible.
