Summary:                    Large list of recording files produces delay on
incoming calls on queues
Description: 
Having a directory with a lot of recording files delays audio on queues
with recordings enabled. 
It seems that asterisk tries to access the directory containing all the
recordings before passing audio, causing big delay on the incoming audio.
Running "ls" command on that directory produces the same delay before
seeing the list of files.
Moving the files out of the monitor directory fixes the problem.

This is a filesystem level issue.  There is nothing we can do about it. 
Asterisk doesn't do anything special here.  All it does is create a file to
start writing the recording out to.  If creating this file takes a long
time because of there being a lot of files, then we can't do anything about
it.
