Possibly.  We don't really recommend using separate archives to begin
with unless there is a really pressing need for it.  Another thing you
may want to check is if you have 8-dot-3 filename creation turned off
in NT (see the NT install guide for details).  Under the NTFS file system
if you have more than a couple hundred files in a given directory, I/O
in that directory slows to a crawl unless 8-dot-3 names are disabled.

No.
