If I have 3 million files, which directory structure is better?
Method 1. ~/123456789.htm (Putting all the 3 million files into the same folder without any sub folders)
Method 2. ~/789/123456789.htm (Create 999 sub-folders, each sub-folder contains about 3000 files)
For Windows Server 2008, which structure is faster?
