I wouldn't bet on that one... it merely depends on what "lots of" actually 
mean. Having a several k of files in one flat directory might very well get you 
into trouble on modern OS and FS as well. Might simply start with not easily 
being able to delete them anymore on the commandline under *ix systems.
