We are merging two Marketo and Salesforce instances, and will have very long sync times since our total database is over a million contacts. Sync times are already increasing, so I've begun looking into ways we might clean up the newly merged instance post-merge. We have almost 1,000 fields. If I hide many of these, will it speed up sync? Does Marketo still sync the data even though the field is hidden? There are some great resources on instance clean up and speeding up sync but I haven't found an answer to this question. For those who have found their way here through search, you might find these articles helpful: Load Balancing in Marketo, How to Conduct a Marketo Audit - Marketing Rockstar Guides

Will hiding fields in Marketo speed up SFDC sync?

Also remember that if you really want to get rid of fields, once you have hidden them, you can ask support to "deep hide" them. This will remove them event from the admin -> field management section.
