Depending on your FS and horsepower, anything over
1000 x (n * 10) files in a directory can start to sink you
pretty quick. I've always wondered if there's a maildir split
specified out there that applications could utilize...
where n is your split width... tmp/n, new/n, cur/n.
what about shifting this problem to the storage layer?
Apart using SSDs, what about using having a striped array as a RAID 1+0
layout, in order to have some redudancy as well?
