> 10,000 files is a lot for a file system ... Not really. Ten thousand files in the same directory, however, is. And that's the problem, I think. Filesystems use directory information to find files quickly.
Conceivably, CF could be changed to store class files in some sort of directory structure - instead of them all being in cfclasses, they could be in cfclasses\[something]. The problem then, though, would be that CF wouldn't have any way to find them without recursing through directories, unless the directory structure could be inferred from the request itself (perhaps mirroring the directory structure of the source code). Also, there would be a cost involved in creating these directories, presumably. Honestly, I don't know if that's a viable solution, but I do think it would solve the specific problem of how long it takes to retrieve compiled classes.
