There are a very few that are excluded, those where infections have never been 
reported. I believe these to be the only ones:

Possibly, if you have sufficient RAM to accommodate it, but as clearly 
announced in the conf:
"Note: disabling this limit or setting it too high may result in severe damage 
to the system."
where the default is 25M.

Not sure about other platforms, but there has never been an MacOS infection 
found in large files.

Done that often, but too many variables to predict performance effects. You'll 
just have to try it with your setup to answer that one.
