Is there any impact on performance depending on the size of a CHM file?

The main issues people have with help file performance (regardless of whether it is a CHM file) are related to the number of images, DHTML hotspots, bookmarks and links they have in a topic. The number of topics in a CHM should not be an issue. What exactly are you trying to access the performance impact of?

The main issues are listed above. The number of topics in a CHM does not really cause performance problems. More logistical maintenance problems which is why some use several CHMs merged into one. As far as size/performance of an CHM file is concerned, most are relatively small.

I'm trying to assess the performance of .CHM files from a size perspective.
