Thank you Richard, I really appreciate your time to explain it to me. I think I start understanding it all slowly...
You're right that until I don't have any performance issue I shouldn't try to optimize anything. I already created some modules that I import when needed (mainly for API calls that I make from Angular, it works really great) so a lot of code and functions are there. I will now try to see if creating plugins would help at this point or if it is an optimization I should do latter on. As you said, the idea of having conditional models quiet pushes me away as I would have to rethink exactly what models depend on others to be able to put them in folders... I might get crazy before time :) Once again thank you for the help! Best, Sébastien. @Steve: I will have a look in the mailing about defining tables inside modules. It sounds interesting.
