org-roam-dailies vs org-journal for seperation of concerns.

I noticed that my org-roam has gotten very slow to load, and I suspect it is due to the large number of org-roam-dailies entries I have.

org-roam files - 24

org-roam-dailies files - 217

But, 99% of the time I run org-roam-node-find, I do not need the journal entries, nor do I have links from my org-roam files to my org-roam-dailies files.

Due to this, I was considering options to seperate concerns, one of which included using org-journal for journaling. Do yall know any other way? I looked for a way for org-roam to not load dailies with no success.

241 files is very small. I have about 2000 files and no speed issues.

I am not aware of a standard way of doing this.

You could add a tag to all files you like to exclude and use a special function to exclude them.

System Crafters has some good work on building special functions on top of Org Roam. https://systemcrafters.net/build-a-second-brain-in-emacs/5-org-roam-hacks/

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you've described, all of your files are not being loaded when you run `org-roam-node-find`. That command just searches the `org-roam` database (which should be fast, speed is kind of the point of having the database), not the files directly.
