You're probably right. Still books with smaller flows do work faster. The problem comes in when you have a really large book with few chapters, like Sweatpea.
I saw on the Adobe forum that one person had problem with his OPF file being too big because he had a large number of photographs, over 10,000. The OPF was over the 300KB limit and failed the EpubPreflight.
I guess the only way they are going to be able to change it is to start a version number on it. Currently epub is as 2.01 and the
IDPF are working on 3.0. So when Adobe starts supporting 3.0 maybe we'll start seeing an supports epub 3.0 logo or something.
I didn't like the way the IDPF sort of abandoned their old website Daisy.Org and snuck over to code.google.com/p/epub-revision/ without putting a note on the old website. I found the link buried in a message on their tracker.
