Why not store them in a database with one php script selecting them?

This is a more general server question: I know that having a large number of files in one folder can slow down a web server, but, how many would it take for this to be a problem? Wondering if I should store all articles for a content site in one big 'articles' folder with each article having it's own folder within (/articles/article_id/), or if I should organize them by year then article name (/articles/2002/article_id). The site will only produce a few hundred articles a year. I'd like the keep the file structure shallow and simple if possible, but, if it could potentially slow the server down by putting so many folder in one I'll split them up more.
