I don't regard that as huge.  My camera produces 10MByte raw images, and
if anything remotely interesting goes in front of me there can be quite
a lot of them.  The gimp .xcf images that occasionally result are much
bigger.

Work has a large number of big database files, and rsync handles those
nicely.
