I have not noticed any specific issues with the loading or storing of attachments but Im concerned that at some point we will fun into problems as more and more files are added to the same location.   Is there some method to split the attachments location into multiple folders? Or should this even be a concern at all? Is anyone running an instance with many more attachments than that?

However we are looking into ways to potentially split up the folder into smaller folders to make it easier to manage, but nothing is definite at this point.
