You can also enabled hashed directories with a 2.6 [Kernel]. This speeds up lookups for directories that contain a large numbers of files/directories.
<pre>
-tune2fs -o
dir_index /dev/''partition''
+tune2fs -O
dir_index /dev/''partition''
fsck.ext3 -D /dev/''partition''
</pre>
The fsck is required to move the existing directories to the new format. If you ever remount the filesystem as ext2, directories that are written to will be converted back to the old format, so you need rerun the fsck.
