You could throw alot of money and hardware at the problem and hope that
cures it:

Netapp Filer perhaps

Maildir works (about as best as can be expected) over NFS

But that really is a solution _I_ wouldnt like to go with.

There also might be some kernel hacking you can do that can cope better
with many filenames in one directory, etc.
