It's a 500MB DBC that compresses down to about 40MB inside a MPQ.
We had to make the WoW client have the large memory aware flag, same with the Blizzard installer.
It loads all DBCs into memory on startup so adds 500MB to RAM usage. But it's an old game that doesn't use much RAM as it is, so it was acceptable for such a core feature.
