yes, this is very common with very large installs on mundane spool
systems or home directories to have the users setup like this or in a
similar fashion as having a large number of inodes, files and
directories in one single directory is a filesystem killer very often.
so if your /var/spool/mail had 110,000 users (plus potentially
thousands of lock files in that same area) you would see a huge
performance boost (or the disppearance of various odd bugs) by moving
to a 'split spool' system.
similar to why various queueing programs that might on a single
directory with many programs split their queues like exim in the same
fashion.
Great.
Thanks for the quick reply.
