I've split up very large text files into smaller ones in the 750K range to improve reader performance.

The source text is formatted in such a way that if I chose to, I could split text files to as small as 2point5 K.

If I split down to the 2.5K text file size, my typical EPUB of 7 MB, would have approixmately 2800 file entries in the OPF. I don't know how large that OPF would be.. but it would be huge.

Overall question: can splitting text files into smaller text files be done to the point of be counter-productive? That is: too many, too small files.

Is there a size limit on the OPF?
