The current block gas limit is very large, set at 1125899906842624 for fork 7 and above. This is very large considering the gas cost of transactions. Is there any reason for setting such a large gas limit and does it have an impact on performance.

Any clarification would be useful, the following is a relevant blog about gas limits in ethereum: https://ethresear.ch/t/on-block-sizes-gas-limits-and-scalability/18444

Since we're constrained primarily by the prover and therefore counters, a high block gas limit is preferable. Hopefully that answers your question! We don't have decentralisation concerns etc.
