I am setting up NetBSD as a mail server.

I will be adding 2000+ email accounts and have a logistics question.

Which way would be better for a user home directory structure?

one global directory (i.e. /usr/home/) were all the user in one place?
Or breaking them up alphabetically (i.e. /usr/home/a/ /usr/home/b/ etc)?

I want to keep the performance hit for disk accesses down, including
fragmentation.
