Ikai, this is what a 1.5MB HTML page looks like: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html :)
I can't think of many other examples, outside of "single page" user guides for open source projects. So your point is very fair, especially given the average HTML files size is ~25 KB. 1MB XML files, however, are not out of the question. Have you ever seen the XML that MS Office products output? It is very verbose, and in my experience ~250 KB for an average sized document. If you embed images you can easily exceed 1MB. What if I wanted to store MS Project XML files for my Chrome App: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kdecagaipaomhgmddggocgibjclimaol?hl=en-US ? Luckily, for this particular project i'm not working with MS XML files, so I can simplify my solution. I've taken the approach where I store "editable" files in the datastore (xml, xsl, html, css, etc) and "non-editable" files in the blobstore (images, pdfs, etc). I like the ability to update records, as opposed to constantly creating new blobs and deleting the older versions.
