I think extra databases creates more administration overhead than benefit. The benefit to extra databases is "improved write performance" generally speaking. But the trade is subtree queries are more complex to eval for the server.

It's far easier for you the admin, and also support staff if you keep it as a single db. We have done huge amounts to improve parallel reads in recent years, so you should see large gains when you change from 1.3 to 1.4 or 2.0 :)
