First, the 240000 files in one dir are history since svn 1.6 and if it
was a real issue, one could still use the bdb back end. Second, if you
run such a server, you should think about the FS and use something like
xfs, jfs or reiserfs. Their overall performance on servers is usually
better anyways.
