Edward, you're probably not going to like my recommendation, but it would be better to get a larger drive.

You didn't mention the total size of the drive, but if you have 50Gb to spare, chances are that you are running into fragmentation issues also. A full set of RealTracks (not Audiophile) is 92Gb and contains about 100,000 files, plus more for the RealDrums.

Could you get a larger drive, and copy whatever you need from the current drive to it, and start with some 'future-proofing'?
