possibly not, they *could* be grouped into client subdirs (this is a large site where 200+clients each have around 100 to 3000+ items each consisting of 10 images). However, the boat's sailed on the site structure a long time ago, and not sure the client would want to revisit it unless it becomes a real problem (which it may well do in the fullness of time). Certainly worth considering though.
