Default Performance Increase for Linking Tables?

If my DB is already 170Megs, and I need to add in another 50Megs, does it
make more sence to just Link the Tables into it instead?

Are there drawbacks to doing this?

220 Mb really isn't that large for Access.

Do you need to be able to update the data? If so, then you probably should
link, so that you don't have different versions of the same data floating
around.
