Well, to a certain extent, the author is right.
Depending on how your system handles folders and how mess up your
registry is, you may or may not have a slow machine.
The best will be not create too many folders inside My Documents.
In fact, leave it alone will be best.
Create a new folder outside My Documents, for example in C or D
drive, then put all your files there.
Remember to defragment your hard disk after moving those files,
because moving a few GB worth of data will fragment your hard disk
pretty badly.
