  The number of load operations that run in parallel cannot exceed the number of data files to be loaded. To optimize the number of parallel operations for a load, we recommend aiming to produce data files roughly 100-250 MB (<strong>or larger</strong>) in size compressed.</p>
  <p>I got above details from Snowflake doc, they simply said (or larger) can someone explain what is the max size recommended.</p>
