Performance hit with large number of small files

A directory containing 100,000 images: I right-click | Copy and it
takes minutes to respond. To actually copy them is exceedingly
painful. But I can move single large files of the euqivalent total
size around easily.

What are some things that I might look into in improving this
performance?

Thanks!

Put them into subfolders of around 5,000 files per folder.

Yes I have resigned to that option unless someone can show me a trick
(tried turning off indexing, antivirus, cannot figure out how to turn
off active desktop).
