Yes, that's a good idea. But we are talking about 90+% of the titles being empty (I might be wrong on that), that's a lot of hard links. I think the nginx config just need to be fixed, I hope I'll receive some help on their forum.

You could also try turning off the file descriptor cache. Keep in mind that nvme ssds can do ~30-50k random reads/second with no concurrency, or at least hundreds of thousands with concurrency, so even if every request hit disk 10 times it should be fine. There's also kernel caching which I think includes some of what you'd get from nginx's metadata cache?
