If I have 3 million pages, which directory structure is better?

Method 1. ~/123456789.htm

(Putting all the 3 million pages into the same folder without any sub folders)

Method 2. ~/789/123456789.htm

(Create 999 sub-folders, each sub-folder contains about 3000 pages)

For Windows Server 2008, which folder structure is faster? (For file creation, reading and deletion)
