Well, you are right, it may affect performance in some situations.
It may not as easy as I imagined.
But it can be handled in separate ways.
Likely there will be no performance problems with external SATA disks attached on USB port until a few hundreds of files per directory.
It is possible to cache subdir movie counts, display cached numbers, then refresh only rarely.
It may really mean performance problem for network attached devices (NAS).
But network devices can be detected, so subdir counting can be disabled for networking devices.
There are several possible ways for solution:
1) New option in Settings:
Subdirectory movie counting for external : [ X ] Yes (default) [ ] No
2) New option in Settings:
Subdirectory movie counting for network drives: [ ] Yes [ X ] No (default)
3) New option in Settings:
Subdirectory movie counting (cache movie count): [ X ] Yes (default) [ ] No
4) New option in Settings:
Subdirectory movie counting - (display [ # ] character above [ 500 ] ) movies: [ X ] Yes (default) [ ] No
With implementing such options, performance problems could be handled.
