make sure your kernel is compiled with

options         UFS_DIRHASH


or it will be slow


the limit is 32765, just because link count is 2 bytes wide and each 
subdir adds two to base directory. you have to change to 2 level 
hierarchy.


with files - i started creating empty files, it turned slow after 
about 320000.
