... is there a reason why, other the fact that we don't do now, that we
can't just put in a restriction against cross posting altogether?
Because that would be shooting ourselves in the foot. Cross-posting
is often desirable. If we had a clearer distinction of list topics, I
might support such a move, but we don't, so I can't.
But, its the cross-posting, IMHO, that reduces the distinction ...

why isn't there any self-management of this sort of stuff in the first

What would you have us do?
Redirect users ... if user sends a query performance related question to
-general, respond back with -general as the CC, To as -performance and a
Reply-To header of -performance ... that way those on -general know that
its been redirected, but *hopefully* users replying will honor the
-performance redirect ...
