Are there a lot of files in each directory, or are there a lot of directories?

One thing I can think off the top of my head when
organizing/retrieving data this way (other than using an rDBMS) is
that the directory read function doesn't scale very well, especially
when doing something like ls over a large directory of mail.

Have you looked at indexers for your data, to see how well that helps,
such as swish++?
