Can having too many folders slow down a computer?

Can having too many folders slow down a computer?

Someone on a non-technical forum recently told me that storing files
nested in too many subfolders can slow down a computer. Is this at all
true? It kinda makes sense, since the computer would have a larger file
system index or whatever it's called to sort though, but I can't find any
info about this online. I haven't actually noticed much of a difference on
my computer from creating lots of folders, and I've never heard this
before (and I read a lot about tech), so I'm a little skeptical. Could
someone be nice enough to point me to some relevant information?
