I think "large" is dependent on context.
I've used LSON files larger than 100 MB, but I don't know that I would
recommend that for all possible use cases.
The bug DB link in this post suggests that size of a given array isn't
necessarily a problem or not a problem, it all depends on what
specifically you need to do with it, and whether you are unable to do
what you want in your app's context.

gigabyte or a few hundred megabytes or...? I know it will be variable
and depend on other factors, but it would be nice to have a general idea.

I don't think that is large. If you are processing data the same size and
somehow leaving the previous data around, that might build up. That might build
up in queues and stacks, in a message storm and in appended data. But, I am
guessing that that is not likely.

Sources of memory leaks are LC, LC scripts, OS, libraries, LCB and (I suppose)
compilers. I don't think we can assume the problem is not in the user script. I
have seen script memory leaks like these:
1. Leaving large data in script locals

Is 2.5MB considered large data? I'm having issues on my Pixel that I think may
be memory-related.
