Then split your html files up into subdirectories. This has several
advantages:
- Smaller groups of related files are easier to manage (no more
"hundreds in a directory" clutter)

- Related groups can give you more structured URLs, such as
http://example.com/section1/
This also lets you skip the page name when you can just use a directory
and the default document (it's not the only way to do this, but it's
easy, convenient and a benefit of good structure)

- Root is cleaner, and there's a few magic files in there that you
might want to keep obviously visible, without clutter.

Shortest path length is no path length
