that's true if your tools and kernel are recent enough, and your 
filesystem has dir_index enabled... see tune2fs -O dir_index, and e2fsck 
-D ... if you've done upgrade-in-place on your system a few times it's 
pretty likely your /home is old enough to be unindexed.  (make sure 
filetype is enabled too while you're in there.)
