If the files get too big they can become awkward to handle because it takes too much time to load them and process them.If you do not rotate the logs then you have to load every log entry ever made since the installation of Apache just to see one log entry. If you rotate the logs then you only have to load the other entries made the same day as the entry you want to see.
