That's not necessarly true if you talk about the engine itself tbh.
While it's true that UE4 has a lot of "easy to use", built in ways to optimize games, the heavy parts of a game nowadays are draw calls, assets polycount , shader and lighting complexity (and, to some extent also texture size). Basically, it depends.
That said, the fanfest demo does not seem to be particularly "heavy" for todays "top graphics" (Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield 1 etc) :
- LODs seem to be pretty "aggressive" (as you can see the popping of a higher definition mesh in this video between 0:21 and 0:22 while still being relatively "close" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLGdp9lp2Kw).
- There seem to be a wide (and wise imo) usage of Normal Maps for secondary details which would undoubtedly drastically reduce polycount (0:44 on the same video).
- Last but not least, UE4 standard Occlusion Culling works wonderfully.
I only have one little doubt: in certain situations, particles might be too heavy, but I'm sure it was just an eye-candy for the fanfest demo.
But that's what I can say based on a youtube video, I wasn't there so I cannot be more specific on things like texel density for example and above all, it was a pre-production demo so everything might have changed. All in all, at that state, I'd say it shouldn't have been too heavy.

It depends on where you live . If you lived here where I live, you'd probably be on the beach enjoying the sun, complaining about the temperature being too warm.
And mocking tourists who wear socks and sandals.
I mean, We hate people who wear socks with sandals.
It's just too warm. Seriously.
Why would you wear socks if you're going to the beach, anyway?
Aww, I hate people who wear socks and sandals  .
