I havent encountered this problem personally but i am aware that storing a large number of documents in same place may cause major slowdowns.
There is a lot of information on internet that this problem exists. But im having a hard time finding exactly:
- what causes the problem ?
(is it too many files in one directory, is it too long file names??)
- where is the source of this couse ?
(is it OS, is it PHP - im using Zend Framework which uses PHP to develop this page)
- when does this problem becomes relevant?
(how many files do i have to have on system to withness this problem?)
- what are the solutions?
(renaming files, making subdirectories?)
Is there someone who knows theses things. If there is please answer 4 questions mentioned above (or just give me a link if its already been answered)
Thanks in advance
