Dear Gabriel Popescu,

Once you wrote about "I need a solution":

As to your question, I cannot advise anything, since I had no need
similar to yours.  But the specs for your machine do really surprise me.
10.000 files x 50 bytes = 500.000 bytes, which is less then half a
megabyte.  Why do you need a machine with 4GB of memory? ;)
