Imho this depends on the file-system, too. Ext2/Ext3 without
htree/dir_index[1] is slow on big directories, starting at about 1000
or 2000 entries, which calls for split_spool_directory. ReiserFS does
not have this problem (but probably others, or probably not, please
refrain from turning this into a "my filesystem is better than
yours"-thread).
