IIUC in his example, only the ownership of the selection needs to be transferred, not the selection itself, so the size of the selection shouldn't matter. Unless he has some extra software (like some clipboard applets) that systematically keeps takes a copy of those things, tho I don't remember hearing of a case where the PRIMARY was (mis)handled this way (contrary to the CLIPBOARD selection, where there've been many such mishandling by naive applets).
