Table Number Limit?

Is there a limit to the number of tables allowed in MySQL? Is there any
non-obvious performance hit associated with having too many tables?

Assume the data size will be the same. In other words, having a table that
is 1.5Gig versus having 1000 tables that are each 1.5MB in size.

Just a passing observation, tables are in a lot of cases stored as files so perhaps one factor is how your OS copes with looking up files in a directory
