Optimal file count

I recall reading once that apache had a file limit at which point no more files where allowed to be created...I believe this is in the mySQL docs as it suggests keeping the number of databases below this number???

Anyways, anyone ever read anything on the number of files which are consider are optimal (the maximum number before performance hits occur) per directory???

Links would be appreciated to confirm...

Cheers :)

Are you sure you're talking about Apache? More often than not that sort of slow down involves the operating system and file system involved.

MySQL works independently from Apache is why I'm asking I guess.

Are you planning on having hundreds of databases?
