We can see that data reading perfomance doesnt depend of number of 
folders. (but depends of number of files)
am I  wright?

But if we need to open only 20% of all directories at a time. if we have 
10 directory and need to open only two of them. So loading will be less 
- number of files will be less.
If we have on directory and open it once and read all files loading will 
be higher.
