Hello
You can look on the mysql site for tips and tweaks at improving mysql speed but this will only help you if you have a dedicated server since most shared hosting you dont have permission to tweak the servers.
Now as far as combining databases
Yes it is as simple as this. Transfer the tables into the vbulletin database and update the database info in the config file to point to the right database.
There are pro's and con's to each way of thinking.
I prefer same database for smaller sites etc.
I prefer separate databases for larger sites where databases are bigger because the saving's you get by not having to connect to a new database is muted by the extra time to access the large database when everything is in one database
So its a give and take situation to be perfectly honest.
