"max text repl size" safety

I just increased the max size of text replication to 524288 bytes with below
Sql statements. The system allows me to do that but I'm wondering if there
is any issue/drawback that I should know about pumping the max size up by so
much. Thank you in advance for your advice.
EXEC sp_configure 'max text repl size', '524288'
go
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
go
Basically it means that SQL can replicate data where a row contains more
than 524288 bytes. This will cause performance degradation on your system as
rows this size are going through.

If the system is moving large files (2- 10 MB) what kind of impact will it
have? What impact will it have on both servers?
Thanks
