Hi,
there is no maximum file size. I have several notebooks 140 MByte and
more. I expect the problem is that You display a verry complicated
symbolic result and the formating mix up the frontend.
I avoid the display of huge expressions -- it is use less in the most
cases and add my simplification rules blind until the LeafCount has some
nice small value.
Hope that helps
