According to various File system benchmarks, ext3 performs rather slow in those circumstances (lots of files in a directory). Isn't there also a risk of inode starvation with ext3 and loss of space due to the 4k block size?
Nowadays there is an ext3 filesystem option dir_index wich uses b-tree for indexing files:
You can enable this for particular filesystem with tune2fs tool. After that you should run fsck -f on that filesystem. Or if you create new filesystem you can specify -O dir_index to mke2fs command.
