in thread Performance Trap - Opening/Closing Files Inside a Loop
We found that ext3 with the 2.4.x Linux Kernel was reasonably happy with 10,000 files in a directory but obviously unhappy with 1 million. By reasonably happy I mean other bottlenecks dominated affairs. I would be interested if anyone has done a study on the relation of file numbers per dir vs access time for different file systems that it a little more precise.
cheers
