On most Unix systems performance gets very bad somewhere between 10,000
and 100,000 entries in a single directory. But that's for their native
filesystems, not ISO-9660. I haven't done any tests on CD-ROM, and I
don't know enough about that filesystem to calculate it, but keeping all
files in a single directory is almost certainly not a good idea.
