How do you know it would be slow with _any_ filesystem? Did you test
all filesystems with this special case to know for sure?

I am guessing ReiserFS could do quite well - it was designed to handle
huge numbers of files. What about others? XFS? Would be interesting to
know why so many files need to be in one directory as well...
