This answer suggests moving a large mailbox (50 gb) to a new Exchange database. Will that improve performance, such as moving mail from one folder to another and will it improve search speed?

Moving a large mailbox to a different database will only increase performance if the destination database exists on either a different server, or different disk to the source database.
In virtualized environments connected to a SAN, sometimes moving the mailboxes to a database that resides on a different disk may not have a performance benefit because the data may exist on the same physical disk in the storage array.
To get around this, you might consider creating an exchange database on a disk that exists on a different SCSI bus, or a different LUN.
