Check out the variable `brite::touchup-threshold':

  brite::touchup-threshold's value is 65536

  Documentation:
  *Integer for maximum size of file for which touchup highlighting is done,
  or NIL if touchup highlighting should always be done.

You can set this to whatever your want in your .emacs file.

Also, if you go over the threshold, you can type 'C-z T' to "balloon"
the threshold by 1000 characters over the current buffer size.

There is similar stuff for the variable `brite::comment-threshold'.

Read the first couple of pages of lightbrite.el for interesting
information.
