Back in the dark ages known as the 1980s, we had a one-C-function-per-
file rule on a project with tens of thousands of C functions.  The big 
benefit was that we always knew which source file contained which 
function.  Computers could search a directory tree much more quickly than 
that much source code.  (The exception was the so-called Information 
Cluster, a collection of functions surrounding a data store, the 
predecessor to the modern day object-with-state and/or closure).

Not a Java fan'ly yours,
