I'm thinking about just using the first 1 or 2 characters of the key as 
directories, this should help any single directory from having a huge 
amount of entries but i don't know big of a deal it is, ext2 should have 
decent performance with 5000 files in one dir and if we need better 
performance for say 10000 files there is always reiserfs
