I believe XFS copes fine with overstuffed directories.
Ext3 will perform a lot better if you use tune2fs and enable the following
features:
dir_index
Use hashed b-trees to speed up lookups in large
directories.
filetype
Store file type information in directory entries.
sparse_super
Limit the number of backup superblocks to save space
on large filesystems.
man tune2fs - note that you MUST run e2fsck before remounting the
filesystems.
