in thread Perl solution for storage of large number of small files

Be aware of where your filesystem slows down. There is often times a limit on the number of files that you can store in a directory before access starts getting slow. Adding another level of directories can be faster than adding more directories to the current one.

While old, this explains my ramblings from above.
