Yes, those messages are just there to warn users that if they try to record multi-million point phase records, they may either run out of memory or generate a gigabyte+ file that will be painfully slow to work with. The warning threshold is quite a bit higher in the 64-bit version but it will still pop up if you get too aggressive with the data rate and/or duration.
