At the risk of stating the obvious, but since you are talking about 
mod_perl (and thus I suppose perl), the basic module File::Find is a 
good starting point to collect all kinds of statistics about a file 
hierarchy.
Such as how many levels maximum and average, how many files per 
directory or per depth, sizes etc..
You can easily build a script that will run regularly on your file 
structure and take some snapshots over time.
Real numbers are generally a better base for optimisation than mere 
impressions.
