Why VMIO directory is a bad idea?

I read some postings on the Linux-Archive, complaining the slowness in looking up some big directory. Some claims that since the directory file is typically small, advanced techniques such as B+ tree (and I add hash method) are not necessary. We can simply pre-allocate the directory file contig

:(1) If the directory file is less than one page, there will be a waste of :memory due to internal fragmentation. Why do not we set a limit, say one :page, on when we start VMIO a directory? It is true that when we use VMIO to back directories that a minimum of one page of memory is use
