Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Max number of files in directory?
I don't know what the limit is, but there is definitely degradation in performance after a few thousand files. On NTFS systems, this is most likely app-related such as Explorerer where they have to deal with slogging through all the extra files, as noted by another poster. An App opening a specific file will see almost no degradation because the NTFS uses a tree structure to maintain fast access to a file by name. There is a separate issue where NTFS doesn't recover unused directory space after deleting many files. This only becomes an issue with files numbering in the millions --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
