Yep, although this would greatly improve my assertion that unix dirs,
like zope folders, are not efficient enough to handle 6000 objects, it
would not effect my assertion that zope folders need a more efficient
storage mechanism.

I know this is probably what you meant Patrick, I just wanted to be
explicit.

In this light, I have experimented with a BTree folder.  I posted the
code to zope-dev eariler this week.  Anyone get a change to see it? 
Anyone interested in actually improving it?
