We had a folder with over 1 million objects in the IFS. We managed to delete them, and gained 3-4 hours back from our backups. This was an s/8 with a V9000 data store, and fiber-channel attached LTO4 tape drives.
It wasn't a lot of space, but it was the number of objects that IBM i backups work with.
One way around excessive backups time is to exclude the directory from your backup, and do a middle-of-the-night backup to a SAVF, and save the SAVF separately. It doesn't really eliminate the backup time, but the tape drive moves faster!
