Exclamation B777 LMC question

I've been operating 77L and 77W (777-200LR and 777-300ER) for more than two years now and always been curious about LMC limits at hight gross weights. Our OM states, that at TOW more than 340 000kg (77L) and 345 000kg (77W) any LMC exceeding 100 (one hundred) kg would grant a new loadsheet.
I've always thought this number is a bit extreme - shurely, a big and heavy aircraft like this could not be very much affected by such a small change!
Any thoughts and additional info would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
H.L.

in my previous dispatch job we could lmc 1000kgs on an A320 before a new loadsheet was required..so would agree with what you say!

Must be your company policy. Such a small LMC limit for such a big aeroplane seems quite silly and operationally limiting.
