title: Is it faster to have more files in fewer folders, or more folders with fewer files?
body: <p>Hey all.  I'm creating an application that is going to be generating and storing millions of images.  Before I start on this, I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's better to generate more folders and only keep a few files in each, or should I use a few folders and fill them up with lots of files?</p>
  
  <p>The generator will be written in C++ and the files will be accessed directly via GET requests.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Steve</p>
