Perhaps. But if they don't get a tree into Ext3 they can promote it till 
hell freezes over and it's still going to be slow on directories with a 
large number of files.

You know what surprises me is that someone doesn't merge Netware into 
Linux. Netware was light years ahead of all Linux systems 20 years ago 
and I don't know if Linux will ever catch up. The had not only bTrees 
but transaction tracking that allowed any number of pending groups of 
transactions to be cleanly backed out if they fail to complete. But - 
i'm not going to go there because that would start a religious war. ;)
