Implications on performance by keeping 40+ Workspaces

I'm planning to start storing and processing most of my clients' data from within my Smartsheet Business account (i.e., a separate workspace for each client to ensure data privacy, leading to approx. 30 to 40 workspaces, and gradually even more in the next 2-3 months).

My clients have different services requirements (I process their data for small ad-hoc projects, sales, marketing campaigns, income, expenses, productivity, accounts, …), and centralizing their data (in Smartsheet) will help me serve them in a much more efficient manner.

And here comes the BIG question! Could this approach (a) considerably increase the time my Smartsheet account currently takes to load / open (7~10 seconds)?; and / or (b) slow down the loading time of some reports and dashboards I will make for my clients to help them see their work's progress?

In summary, my main concern is only about the post sign-in loading speed and not the data processing speed.

Seeking feedback esp. from @Genevieve P. @Andrée Starå @Paul Newcome

Thanks a lot!

I agree. It shouldn't affect anything speed or processing related. I have access to an account that has 200+ workspaces, and the only performance issues I have are the same ones I face on smaller accounts. Big / complex sheets, complex dashboards, giant reports, etc.. The number of workspaces however hasn't impacted anything other than having to scroll a little more to see everything.
