Code Organization

Hey Guys. My current web application contains functions file that has about 56 user defined functions.

 

As my application grew my developer kept adding new functions to the functions.php file with out grouping them into the theme.( I didn't want to use OOP since I wasn't to familiar with it back then, as I am familiar with it now)

 

Fortunately  my web application is not giving me technical  problems.However, I am worried that as the application grows even more it might cause a problem in the future, and with 56 functions being loaded on different pages might cause the web pages to load slower.

 

Do you guys think its necessary to group these functions into different files. Or should I leave the way it is and started grouping new functions into different files, and perhaps use OOP?

 

The web application is fairly small but is contains a lot of users. Maybe 50 PHP files all together.

I assume you're using WordPress. IMO - I would just let that file grow as needed. However, on the functions.php page you could group similar functions together and place a text header at the top of each section so you can quickly drill down to each section performing a search for the header text.
