Too many projects in a workspace? (CW 10.6)

I'm using CodeWarrior 10.6 and I'm wondering if there is a maximum, or a recommended maximum, number of projects for a given workspace. The workspace I'm considering would potentially contain many different projects using various microcontrollers. Would that make CodeWarrior more prone to errors? Would it become too slow? I know CodeWarrior can become slow overtime regardless of the number of projects in a workspace. And I realize you can take care of that by exporting preferences, deleting metadata, and re-importing the preferences. But does it get to a point where it's just always slow because of the high number of projects?

 

Once I decide on a file structure for our code, it will be difficult/confusing to change down the road especially with respect to archiving and version control. So I want to make sure we do it right the first time.

Yes, every project open in Eclipse workspace will consume some memory (keeping the symbols, refreshing the files, etc).

So it is best practice to have only the projects open you are working on.

If you are interested in numbers, have a look at
