Hi,  
I maintain a site that is getting to be fairly large. I do not have much control over the structure, but concerns have been raised about the size of an XML file that we are using. It is only 2MB but I would like to know when I should be getting concerned with this. It is parsed with a java applet on our JSP server. Should I be concerned about the filesize? is it going to start working the server too hard ??
