Yes, with some modifications, but they are not performance-related.

Well, the users have the ability to mute themselves, and there is also
usually an operator with a control screen who can mute noisy participants
if required. And I believe people only speak when invited to by the
conference chairman. It seems to work to the customer's satisfaction,
anyway.

Actually, 90 was the peak channel usage I observed - it could well have
been split between multiple conferences, rather than all in a single one.
