Perhaps it's just because Windows Explorer doesn't deal well with many 
files. Try to unpack some open source archive of some distributor that 
had to make their sources open, some 1G archive, and see how it goes. 
Not recommended :p.

Then when you've unpacked it, deleting it takes a few years as well. So 
imposing a filesystem limit may just have been a way to ensure that 
their user interface limit is not quickly reached, I don't know.
