I'd drill out the end of the crack to try to stop it propagating. Any size drill is useful, as big as you dare without weakening other stuff.

If you can slide the seat forward that will help, as will fitting a post with less layback. You might then want a longer stem.
I'd fit aero bars since it is a commuter, that will get your weight off the seat and give extra zoomage, win all around.
