My next question would be what is defined as a lot of modules? I have 93 modules listed in my modules definitions listing. Some instances of these modules are being used more than once.
Will the amount of module instances also decrease performance?
I still have a lot more modules to install!
Would adding a child portal and splitting the modules between the master and child portal increase performance or is the performance based on a "Per DNN install" rating?
Is this slow down telling me to increase the perfromance of my hardware?
How many modules are many? I am not really sure that anyone can give an answer to this question. This depends on the server that it is hosted on, the size of the modules that you are using etc. I have also noticed that using pre-compilied modules does help a bit on the performance side.
As for will module instances hurt performance again this depends on the modules, but traditionally this will not have that much of an effect, yss it will add to the database size but as long as they are not including major data elements or doing things to core DNN tables it shouldn't be much of an issue.
Now, for other site issues, I would check to ensure that your site log and event logs are not too full. They can have direct performance impacts as well.
I would say as a rule of thumb if you are on shared hosting with 100+ modules, you might be pushing some limits.
