Hans Reiser would argue that that reflects a limitation of the
filesystem, rather than of qmail; and that apps should not
have to code around such unreasonable filesystem limitations.
And reiserfs goes to considerable effort to achieve good
performance on directories containing thousands of small
files.

This would imply that if you're going to use qmail in a high-volume
environment, you might consider using reiserfs, also.

I'd recommend also  tracking/testing reiser4 in your testbed - the early
benchmarks on it are quite astounding....
