3650 directories on 1 hdd. Is this normal?

After defrag, I show:

total directories: 3650
fragmented directories: 14
excess directory frag: 21

Almost all of that is in the "free space". No difference whether I use w2k defrag or Norton speed disk.

There must be 200 non-contiguous directory placements. Somehow this doesn't seem right.
Is this normal?
