A classic hit is how efficient is your filesystem at handling large
directories.  Each table corresponds to a few files.  Too many files
in a single subdirectory can cause performance problems.

I don't know if there's a limit at to how many tables can be handled
by a single MySQL query.  There are MySQL system variables that
limit as to how big that query command can be.
