For your amusement: a box running 4.7-RELEASE with 3.3e6 files in a
single directory.  It began to exhibit problems but remained usable.
~90MB directory file.  Took a while to find a file or create a new one
in that directory.  The security run reported "find: fts_read: Cannot
allocate memory" as its scan for setuid files.

It's been rearranged a bit and is happier now.
