[Gllug] large but emtpy directories

[Alain Williams]

A client's machine has got some large directories [6MB] (exim spool directories),
they now don't contain a large number of files any more (issue that caused
the large queues has gone away). It is on an ext3 file system.

Would it be worth finding a quiet time and take exim down for a couple of minutes
to recreate the directories -- ie make them smaller again ? I think that this might
make searching the directories quicker. Would I be wasting my time ?
