How to define 'heavy volume' in Blender

In this page of the Blender documentation

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/volumes/properties.html

There’s mentioning of the word ‘heavy volume’, as marked in this screenshot

Can someone clarify the exact meaning of this word please? Does it mean ‘complexity’, or ‘thick’ likes ‘thick fog’ or what?

I’m translating the documentation and hence I need to know

Best regards

It’s meaning is closer to “complexity”. It’s referring to the performance impact. A “heavy” data set is one that has a bigger performance impact on a computer and would slow the computer down more.

Thank you so much, that’s what I thought. It’s probably meant to say 'contain a huge array or linked list or classes - record or structure - to which traversing tree would take lots of computing power. Thank you for clarifying.
