A conf-split that high is pretty much pointless (and it should be prime,
regardless).

As a side note, I've read much to the contrary -- that because of the
efficiency with which Linux caches directory entries, qmail performs best
with a conf-split of 2 for an extremely busy server, and 1 (!) for a
smaller server or busy workstation.

Note this is anecdotal, but it seems reasonable.  Some day when I have
sufficient time, I'll do some real measurements.
