Re: Maxsize of Properties

Dear Bettual,

Making sure all clients can read them isn't a purpose by itself. I hope you
don't have too many files with 10MB properties, or that you have huge
amounts of memory in your clients: they are designed for small amounts of
data and may be read fully into memory for many files at the same time.

Hope that explains Hyrum's question.

Bye,

Erik.
