Rob, would having say 1000 folders (not files) in a parent folder be a problem? 2000 folders?

If I remember the physical limitations are outrageous and would never be hit, but there is a performance hit after you reach the disk block size and if its going to be large number of files to use subfolders to split things up. I have not had much performance issue with accessing a particular file by name in a large subdir, but if I need to browse it manually, there definately is a hit.
