Yes, there seem to be lots of directories - many empty. The non-empty
ones often only contain directories. And the ones containing files rarely
have more than 1 file in!
Strikes me that there are too many directory levels. Insetad of having
!Cache.Caches.Default.NetSurf.m.A.3.G.A3GKETD
it may be better to have
!Cache.Caches.Default.NetSurf.mA3G.A3GKETD
I suspect much of the delay for small files is due to checking, creating,
and traversing directories!
