 * I run many single installations in a dedicated server. Will there be better performance
   and preservation of server resources if i import all sites to one multisite installation?

 * That’s a difficult question to answer without knowing a lot more about the sizes
   and uses of the sites and whether they would play well together in one installation.
   When you have many similar sites with similar purpose, content, function and 
   design, multisite can perform well. You can certainly preserve space as well 
   as maintenance effort if you have only one set of themes, plugins, etc.
 * If you’re a developer trying to consolidate a lot of unrelated things in one 
   place to make them easier to manage, it can become a nightmare. A tool such as
   InfiniteWP or ManageWP may be a better solution. They wouldn’t change performance
   or affect server resources.
 * If you haven’t read this yet, you may want to check out [http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/ultimate-guide-multisite/](http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/ultimate-guide-multisite/),
   which I hope will help you assess whether multisite is a good fit for your sites.
