Wow, either I'm reading the stats wrong, or someone has 84.6 TiB in Syncthing. That's impressive.

I don't think this is too crazy as long as it's made up of big files (video perhaps?)

I'm using Syncthing for misc files but accidentally dropped a large git repo in it about a month ago... All the tiny files caused it to really chug.

Not that this is really Syncthing's fault.. file system operations over many files just tend to be way slower.
