50MB file size IMHO. Most users will never need it, and most machines
will be able to handle it, even for XML. Personally I work with larger
files, but prefer another editor for them.

As of the setting being hidden or configurable, won't we include the
Various ("hidden") preferences editor after 0.20? If so, the question
becomes simpler: Does the threshold belong to a specific tab, for
example "File", or just leave it in "Various"?
