We have a thread with a bit over half that many replies and so far I have decided not to split it. It takes about 1.2 seconds to load compared to .1 seconds on other pages, so there is definitely a difference for load times of big threads. I've heard some people just like to split them (and close them) at some point. I think there is a mod to automatically do this, but if I recall there are problems with it. If it's just a single thread, it should be no problem for you to just deal with it on your own.
