So, to be clear here, if in my RT::Action::ModuleName action module if I
use something like this:

$Ticket->AddCustomFieldValue( Field => 'Customer', Value =>
join("\n", at customerids), RecordTransaction => 0 );

And if @customerids contained a list of 1000 five or six digit numbers it
would not choke on that many because LargeContent would get used or because
I'm not recording the transaction at all?  Or am I mistaken here somewhere
still?
