I'm not sure about that. I've had much bigger stores. One way to measure it is to look at the least/most recent dates on the Environment page. There's no point artificially throttling it. Also, one thing that lots of disk space does help, is debugging - debug logs can get _big_, so if you run into any problems, that could be helpful. > > > I have very limited uplink speeds however.
