AFAIK it only affects root directories (which is of course why you don't
put files in drive roots) There are 2 problems, one is a fixed directory
limit (256 or 512?, not sure) and the LFN support chews multiple entries
for each object in the root.
I have one directory with 2,100 files in it at the moment, no obvious
problems.
