Hi As a general rule, if you have several files distributed under multiple directories then you have better performance (compared to a case where several files under one directory). Additionally, if you use ext3 you can expect better performance especially if a lot of files are going to be read and written to. Just make sure you are using latest kernel because older kernels have some issues with ext3 and/or quotas.
