   not only that but directories can hold a lot more individual files these days   
   than back in the DOS FAT-16 and FAT-32 days... specifically, DOS used to see a   
   huge slowdown if there were over 255 files in one directory... the introduction   
    of the JAM message base format turned this up when folks configured all their   
   200+ JAM areas in one directory... with at least four files per JAM base, the   
   system crawled along when scanning for messages... separating the JAM bases   
   into no more than 45 or so areas per directory alleviated this problem...   
   upgrading to other/better OSes also alleviated the problem since they didn't   
   have the same limitation in their storage format(s)...
