Still, I'd create 16 subdirectories under the images directory:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f. Then name the file as an MD5 hash of
the image uploaded, and place it in the directory matching the first
character of the new file name.
Why not use a hash table based upon the name of the file and
distribute files that way?
You don't even need a directory until you actually need one -- then
create one 'on-the-fly' and drop the file into it.
As such, it's easy to find the file again by simply hashing it's name
-- you don't even need to store a path for the file, only the name of
the file.
