I would beg to differ as almost all of my files are very freakin' huge.

I will be posting some pics of this issue as well that work well. But I have found orientation of models and placement on the buildplate plays into it.

I have not noticed this in my time with the printer. I rarely go out and the printers are in my main room and I sleep about 15 feet from the printers and can hear them whirring away with only a delay at the change of nozzles. But, I will be a bit more on the look out for that.
I will have to look at the models you provided. but I print really crazy organic stuff and it truly is large both in buildplate volume as well as files size and do not find any real issues. And when I say large and detailed, 6 - 9 days at a time for many of them.

I did not have time to check the stl's, its on my list. There is indeed an limit to how many gcode you can send in a short period. While short bursts of small segments will work perfectly, prolonged periods of small segments can cause buffer underruns.
There is an 'Experimental Setting' called Maximum Resolution you can use, but it will enforce the limit on the whole model. This might be ok when you are printing cylinders, but not on organic models.
