This came up multiple times in discussions. I think that it is wrong,
and the reason comes down to efficiency. If you want to work
efficiently, then sub-second delays matter, and having 4 files with
500 entries means that to search in them you need to open 4 files.

If you have 100 files with 20 notes each, you have to open 100 files.

Almost any other computing cost pales compared to opening files.

My current setup has around 1200 notes in 10 files (most of them in the
two main files, some of the notes are several pages long, but most take
up around half a page). Using org-rifle
(https://github.com/alphapapa/org-rifle) I can full-text-search them
with barely perceptible delay on a system clocked down to 1 GHz.

Best wishes,
Arne
