How are large transfer sizes typically related to performance?

Large transfer sizes do not inherently lead to performance issues. Instead, they can have a negligible impact on performance depending on the context in which the data is being transferred and the network’s capacity. In many cases, modern networks are equipped to handle large data transfers efficiently, thanks to advancements in bandwidth and compression technologies.

Performance may be more significantly affected by factors such as latency, server response times, or the efficiency of the receiving system, rather than simply the size of the transfer. Therefore, large transfer sizes are not a guaranteed indication of performance degradation if the infrastructure is adequately provisioned to manage such sizes.

In contrast, transfer sizes may be less relevant in environments where high-performance systems and optimized protocols are in place, thereby allowing large transfers without impacting overall system efficiency.
