The longest I have is 173 action mappings. I haven't noticed any performance problems with it. Struts basically loads it once at startup and from then on it's in-memory, so the only potential problem I could imagine is lookup speed, but that doesn't seem to be an issue.
Breaking it up makes sense as others have said from an organizational standpoint. But, if your application doesn't make sense in multiple modules, and some don't, then it's probably not a big problem... be sure to have lots of comments in the config file and group things as logically as possible, much like writing any code!, and a few hundred shouldn't be an unmanageable number. -- Frank W.
