When to start hashing directories

Hi,

I am writing some scripts that are going to involve caching output into various directories which will be created on the fly and routinely removed by a cron job. Thinking ahead and thinking of scalability, I was wondering are their any rules of thumb to follow to know when you should start hashing sub-directories in a directory? Is there a rule of thumb or a formula here?

Thanks
