Excellent question! It is indeed filesystem-dependent. Such performance metrics are hard to come by, since there are so many variables, and to do a good apples-apples comparison, you need the same computer with the same disks and install multiple OS's. But it may not be necessary, really, to get such statistics. One can look at the filesystem architecture, directory handling semantics, and conclude one might be better than the other.
Unforatunally, I cannot provide specifics on JFS nor NTFS. However, ReiserFS and modern versions of ext2 (on filesystems created with -O DIR_INDEX), file creation and lookup are very fast; they both use a hash index to find files. So if you know the name of the file, it can be found almost instantly (as I understand it and have experienced). On older versions of ext2, things really started to slow down after the directory entry itself extended to one or more indirect blocks -- maybe 1000 or so.
You do know one way to store large amounts of files is to create a directory hierarchy that is keyed on the filenames themselves? So files named "ergo1802.txt" might be stored in:
