Clarification: I am not a filesystem programmer, and as such do not know 
about this issue as much as I would like. But I am quite confident that 
inodes are an important tool to provide performance. Or something else.

Anyway, I think it is rarely advisable to imitate MS Windows, and as I 
made clean, Marco's particular situation does not seem relevant to me.
