How about creating a tiered directory structure [0-9a-z]/[0-9a-z] so the
file "xmlfiles/myfile.xml" would be stored as xmlfiles/m/y/myfile.xml. On
average you'd end up with (1 million / (36*36)) = 771 files per directory
which even windows can handle.

I'm doing everything that you mention below.  Each file associates with a
product.  It also has an image as well.  The image will have IPTC header
that describe the product, price, model, make and etc.  Let me know if you
need more info.  Thanks.

What are you looking to do with the files? (ie, display, query, export, etc)
. when in doubt, go SAX :-)
