If I have a large number of files, and I want efficient access, are there any good rules-of-thumb for adjusting depth-vs-breadth in the filesystem? In other words, (approximately) how many entries can a directory hold before it is more efficient to go deeper and add another directory lookup? Assume that files being created or accessed will be randomly placed in the hierarchy. Thanks, -Pat
