I have a thread analytics table where each time a new user visits a page it insert the ip address and also a view of "1" and the thread id
If there are over a 1000 rows for each thread does it slow down the page? Is it OK to create a new row for each new visit. I am just worried about how many rows I can have in my table.

PHP Code:
<?php
class Thread_model extends CI_Model {
public function thread_analytics($thread_id) {
$this->db->where('thread_id', $thread_id);
$this->db->where('ip_address', $this->input->ip_address());
$query = $this->db->get($this->db->dbprefix . 'thread_analytics');
if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
return false;
} else {
$data = array(
'thread_id' => $thread_id,
'ip_address' => $this->input->ip_address(),
'views' => '1',
'date_created' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
);
$this->db->insert($this->db->dbprefix . 'thread_analytics', $data);
}
}
public function total_thread_views($thread_id) {
$this->db->where('thread_id', $thread_id);
$this->db->where('views', '1');
return $this->db->count_all_results('thread_analytics');
}
}
