1024 File/Directory Tree Limits?

Everyone:

  I know that in some flavors of Unix, when more than 1024 files or
subdirectories are created off of one point, the file system on the
machine slows down. For example: more than 1024 home directories in
/usr/users or many mail spool files in /usr/spool/mail.

  Has anyone experienced this sort of condition on a DUX 3.2b machine with
the UFS file system?

  And, along the same lines, is there a quick way to get Digital's
sendmail (5.65) to split up it's mail spool directory into several
directories (without putting the mail in the home directories)?

Thanks All! I will summarize.
