Large *text* files are not. How large is a large text file? > 100 MB? One source of a large text file is the log file when compiling software. Maybe this would occur more with Linux or BSD than FreeDOS. When rebuilding NetBSD from source, log file tends to exceed 100 MB; not so huge with FreeBSD. I would usually not want to copy or edit such a file but might want to copy a range of lines, for which I use vi, but this is not DOS.
