Why? Why is it ridiculous to want to be able to support medium sized file directories, for example thousands of frames of a video, DNA sequencing files and others I often have are in large sets of files, and don't have any sub division that is logical other than numerically creating subdirectories. I think your thinking is wrong. In 2013, why can't we support a directory that responds reasonably fast with a large amount of directories?
