Partitioning configuration files

[Dennis, Richard]

I'm looking for some insight as to when it's best to partition your
configuration files into smaller files that will be imported.  Do most of
you out there keep one large file?

I currently have a cf.linux config file that's >200 lines now....it will
probably grow more rapidly in the next few months.  

If I split it up into a bunch of smaller files will there be a
noticeable/significant performance impact? 

TIA.
