How big is this vlan (how many clients?) What is the percentage of traffic
that is unicast-unkown or broadcast? If it is not high than you will
probably not get much out of segregating onto two different VLANs. What do
you consider to be poor performance? What type of application are we
talking about? Does unicast traffic perform at the expected level of
performance using the existing config?
