Research direction
Start by inspecting the File.WriteAllBytes, File.WriteAllText, and File.WriteAllLines paths and compare them with the concern in #3419. Determine whether large-file creation already pre-allocates space, then verify the behavior and its performance impact with the relevant existing tests or a focused reproduction.
