That reminds me on the atrocious performance of Apple's TimeMachine with small files. Running backups on SSDs is fast, but cable ethernet is noticeably worse, and even WiFi 6 is utterly disgraceful.
To my knowledge you can't even go and say "do not include any folder named vendor (PHP) or node_modules (JS)", because (at least on my machine) these stacks tend to be the worst offenders in creating hundreds of thousands of small files.
