FP98 size limit? - Anyone hear of this?

My website is very large in terms of number of pages and graphics/images. I just started getting 500 Internal Server errors trying to publish updates from within FP98. The upload seems to work fine but when the program says "Processing Updates" soon (not right away) a window pops up and says it encountered an error and the DETAILS window says 500 Internal Server error. The updates do, however, seem to have been applied properly. This never happened to me before and I haven't mucked with any settings or permissions recently.

I emailed my tech guys and they said the server might be timing out because my site is so large. They suggested breaking it up into smaller sub-webs (disk space isn't a problem, I have over 30 megs free).

(I know what webmasters think of FP98 but I'm too deep into it now to rewrite my site anytime soon).

Is anyone aware of an overall website size or number of files limitation within FP98?

Thanks.

JP - It got me to cleanup some unused files I was planning to remove anyway, and all seems fine now. Guess I'll have to be careful until I can do a rewrite.
