It varies too much - how much ram do you have for caching, how efficient is the file system you're using, etc etc. For example, on linux you'll probably find Reiser outperforms ext2 by quite a large margin ... It's probably still true that too many files is not a good idea, but machines today are fast so it's less of a concern than it was in years gone by.
