From a performance perspective: Which Directory layout is better:

It looks like the second option -- File Sytem Layout (LAYOUT=fs) -- could spread the load in a better way ...... I do not expect a user reaching maximum number of subfolders in linux , but what about those heavy users with a lot of sub-folders: Is there a significant performance gain by choosing a specific Directory Layout ...
Any Comments?
I use a filesystem that handles this better than ext3 such as XFS or Reiser.
