[CentOS] files in a directory limitation

Don't know what you're after - but I've found that having over about 1024 
files in a directory gets sluggish on a number of filesystems. 

So when I write code (EG: databases) with file attachments, I use an algorithm 
that results in < 1024 files per directory.
