I don't know what the limit is, but there is definitely degradation in
performance after a few thousand files.

What file system are you using?  I don't think there is a file limit
per directory in NTFS like there was under FAT and FAT32.  I had
originally thought there was a file limit in the root directory in
NTFS, but I could not find any source stating this.
