Why would a consumer have a billion files in a directory?
Your question reminds me of a famous (some fifteen-twenty years ago) question from MSDN forums.
A poor soul complained that when they put 10K buttons on a form in the designer view in MSVS it comes to a grinding halt. And that's impossible to use the studio anymore. To which a bunch of respondents quickly replied: "but why tho? why do you need so many buttons on the form?" -- From the discussion that followed it became apparent that the poster wanted to reproduce the minesweeper game with a 100x100 board.
What I'm trying to say is: if you have a problem where you think you need a billion of files all in one directory, it's easier to reformulate the problem than to try to find a solution for it.
