WCF and MaxReceivedMessageSize

[graphicsxp]

Hi,

I was getting the following message when trying to return a List of
objects from my WCF service :

The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been
exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize
property on the appropriate binding element. The maximum message size
quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded.

So I changed the values of maxBufferSize, maxBufferPoolSize and
maxReceivedMessageSize to 50000000.

Now it's working. However I would like to know what are the drawbacks
of doing this ? Is it equivalent to 5 Mbytes and if so, does it affect
performances ?

Thanks
