Best practices - combining two apps to one

That number of fields will not really affect performance and you have said that these apps are Related, which I take to mean that hey are full of cross app relationships.  So they operate single threaded in one process even though they are two apps.  So from a Performance point of view they are linked anyways into one big app under the covers.

One ting to check is hat the max table size is 500 MB and space only counts for data entry fields and not summary, formula or lookup fields.  So if you currently have a lot of look up fields going back-and-forth they are not they are only counting for space in the data entry source of truth record and not in the look up field onto the other app.

So my opinion is that space is probably a bigger concern than performance.
