I have a website of which I'm adding a online magazine. But what if the magazine (in sub folder) becomes 100x as large as the main website itself? Will Google see my website as a informational magazine instead of my main services? And lose ranking for my main content?

I agree with Jill. I cannot remember ever seeing such a thing happen. Content is judged on its own merits in the search algorithms.

Both replies are correct unless you put and credence on the controversial "Theming" theories

"Theming" is the ridiculous idea that every page on a "site" (hostname) should all be on the same topic, and it is so obviously incorrect that it is beyond belief that anyone give it's credence!
Some of the largest collections of pages on a single host name are testament that it is pure speculation.
eg:
ebay and all the tld variants.
Amazon and the tld variants.
Wikipedia
Dictionary.com
etc, etc, etc.

Me mentioning "Theming" is almost as serious a sin as referring to the "Alt Tag"

Google now sees page speed as a ranking factor. So if my subcontent would go be a lot slower then my main content, so could my maincontent suffer from my slower subcontent?

No, that's such a small factor, I wouldn't even consider it.

You seem to be under the impression that your entire site is ranked by Google as a whole. It isn't. Each page is ranked.

My experience is that more pages = more pages indexed = more places for people to land on your site = more traffic = more sales
The caveat to this is that the pages must be unique(ish), useful and/or interesting in their own right in order to attract indexing and clickthroughs, and your internal navigation needs to be up to the task of guiding your visitors to your really important pages. Get these things right and adding more pages almost directly equals more traffic.
