Definitely true.  The extent of this can be pretty shocking.  I've  
seen hardware RAID 5 arrays slow from megabytes per second when  
writing large files to a few dozen kilobytes per second when writing a  
bunch of small ones.  I don't know if this would be a problem for  
Myth, though; Myth files tend to be large.
