It's sort of a nebulous theory with no real proof--just a hunch.
Makes perfect sense to me... access times have got to be greater when your pda has to search through a buttload of files. I can't believe that it's impossible to move the installed OEM program to a folder under windows (i.e. \windows\program files\OEMname) when it builds. You would think that it would just make better sense as well as gain some performance to keep it organized.
