I want to add a large directory to IPFS. The directory has a lot of links in it. Which type of links should I use for optimal performance? Soft or hard?

@bunder ipfs doesn鈥檛 care, i think.
we dont yet have directory sharding, which is going to give you really bad perf on huge dirs. if it鈥檚 possible, shard the dir yourself for now (by putting things into multiple subdirectories with some fanout factor) (alternatively, help us implement support.)
