Hi Ajay,
Definitely it will cause performance issue as it will take more time send huge attachment size.There is an alternate to store attachments in database but I would suggest not go with that because more or less it will also degrade performance.
There is a nice feature in pega to connect to repository like alfresco etc.You can use this to store .If you are in pega cloud then I think you can use pega cloud repository as well.
Thanks,

Hi,
It will cause slowness to some extent depending on your infrastructure capacity.
If you split the file and do multiple attachment then it may help, but again not sure how you would want final result here.

Never send such large files via network using Pega.
Try to store it in a local machine and, depending of your OS, create a batch/bash background process who will transfer files via network.
But in general, I'd rethink the overall approach in regards of such files - on my opinion, Pega should not store and maintain it.
