CVS history file size question?

[Courier]

Hello cvs users,

First my cvs server is on Redhat 9.0 (kernel2.4.20-28.9smp) and cvs
version 1.12.6.

I would like to know, how large history file can be? The reason is our cvs
history file size is:

1166877300 Apr 20 13:53 history

As you see it is about 1.1GB. The last four years history file is less than
500MB, until this year. It add up another 600MB and counting.

So I am just little concern about what will happening to cvs if its
history file is about 4GB or more?

Does it matter with cvs related? or cvs treat as another Linux file. That
mean I just need more RAM and Faster CPU when history file get larger and
larger?

Can some one give me an advise on this matter?

Thanks,

C-
