Top of the file dates to 2015/02/06 and the bottom dates to today / current time (2016/02/16 14:33:43)

So over a year of logs. Seems the file is not being pared or cycled by the client (ie removing log entries older than ___ or having x number of log files, each contain a day of logs).


Removing this file has the client starting up far quicker (10-15 seconds as opposed to 2-3 minutes of loading). Though this could be biased scapegoating.

The client starting up quicker is incidental and nothing to do with the size of the file, many people have tried it and found out that it makes no diffrence

That file never purges so it will keep growing until you delete it. I do that periodically. It does seem to make the game load faster, lagwin. I think it's more than coincidence.
