Coda/Venus cache size?

Hi,

I just installed Coda a few days ago and I am very
satisfied with it so far, but I can't understand a few
things.

When you are running something like a webserver on a coda 
client, the local cache should obviously be as big as possible.
As disk space is cheap now, a few GB might be a good size.
But the Coda HowTo says "Do not go above 200Meg." Why?

The other thing: I can easily copy files sized 64 MB from
and to a replicated volume that resides on a seperate disk.
I use a 100 MB Venus cache. When I try to copy a 128 MB
file to and form Coda, I get the following error messages.
Can anybody explain to me why this happens?
