title: Will the joomla performance be affected if there is only one controller handling all the requests?
body: <blockquote>
    <p>The controller is responsible for responding to user actions. In the case of a web application, a user action is (generally) a page request. The controller will determine what request is being made by the user and respond appropriately by triggering the model to manipulate the data appropriately and passing the model into the view.</p>

  <p>So I was wondering, how many http requests simultaneously (json calls, xmls calls, http calls) can a single controller handle before it starts screwing the application? I could use multiple controllers, but honestly, how many requests can a single controller in joomla handle? or in other words Will the joomla performance be affected if there is one controller handling all the requests in contrast of breaking the logic into multiple controllers?</p>
