Hi,
Read the above link until here:

When designing your author/module/whatever hierarchy *think
scalability*. We originally got it wrong in one spot by having all
authors as subdirectories in one single directory which quickly became a
bottleneck. (The solution to this was simply to 'hash' based on the
leading two characters of the user ids.) Think also several different
views to your data: by author, by module, by category, by date, by
keywords, and so forth. Don't think only hierarchical views will be
enough: you will need searching capabilities.
