Each time a new document is added a new version of the page is stored on the database, that has a copy of all the other documents currently attached to itself. Meaning that if each of your attached files is 1MB, your total page size is 200MB and each time you add an attached file it becomes a bit heavier. Once it becomes really big operations on that page start taking a lot of time and consume a lot of memory resources. To make it short: it will work if you've got a big computer on the backend but it's not recommended. A better solution would be to create a new page for each file and list all the pages you've created (since XE 1.8 you can use a space homepage for this).
