I think you'll have the same problems that you could experiment using command line: Memory and speed. But if you have enough memory and don't worry about speed it will be ok.

But I think the most important limitations will be in your system.

I think you can't incrementally link under DOS. But I don't understand you. Why are you asking about potential problems that you don't have?
