Article Sizes
Article sizes are limited to what the servers will accept. For text users this is generally not a problem. For Binary users this can be a problem since the maximum article size varies from site to site.
The larger the article size, the fewer articles on each server. This generally means that a server can run with less overhead which makes for a more efficient server. This is because fewer articles reduces the overhead needed to process them. However, the larger the article size, the fewer servers the article will arrive on.
