One other thing that helps out a lot with this is to use some form of
RAID that spans. A single drive or mirrored drives that try to read a
bunch of files while also doing regular tasks would be impossible with
that many files, in fact Explorer is prone to crashing under those

the files are, and not, for example, to a workstation that is trying to
manipulate a folder over the network.

I don't know what the limit is, but there is definitely degradation in
performance after a few thousand files.
On NTFS systems, this is most likely app-related such as Explorerer where
they have to deal with slogging through all the extra files, as noted by
another poster. An App opening a
