I have plenty of disk space, so I don't mind large files, but note that one possible use of "set analysis limit" is to reduce the size of saved .sgf files. E.g. one can set analysis limit to a small number, analyze the match/session, and save the resulting analysis as a small .sgf file. If this command is eliminated, gnubg will retain the analysis of every legal move (most of them at 0-ply, some at higher plies), resulting in a larger .sgf file.
