.Po file question

[Jim Bergstrom]

Hi,
 
I have a very simple question that I cant seem to find answered on the
web regarding .pofiles and gettext.  Is there a recommended maximum size
for a .po file? I am experiencing (obviously) performance degredation
due to, I believe, is an extremely large .po file (its about 7.6mb and
has 40,000+ translation strings).  I am trying to justify the
time/resource needed to break this file up into multiple .po files to
reduce server load.  Is there somewhere I can find this information?
Thank you so much for any help in this!
 
Jim
