We have directories with thousands of small files. It's more likely that it'll be slower because mod_autoindex is written in C and compiled into the Apache daemon, you're not going to get much faster than that. Possibly you could list 500 at a time, or something, which would be faster, however having thousands of files in a directory isn't typically a good design.
