Slow finding file in directory with over 15,000 images

[CFPR]

I have a directory (that is growing fast!) that has about 15,000 images. The images are relatively small jpgs (145k each). The problem is that the system is getting increasiling slow finding a specifig image within the directory.

Is there anyway to index the directory to make lookups faster? Is there a limit to number of files within a directory?

Thanks in advanced

You can:

1. Disable 8.3 name generation

2. Disable last accessed update.

This should speed things up.
