There is no such limit in ADSM.  As you note, the dsmc process doesn't actually
"hang" - it is trying valiantly to process the directory contents.  The problem
is that large directories are notoriously inefficient to process, as anyone
who has run a large mail or news server can attest.  Your poor dsmc is sending
nothing over to the server (yet) because it is so busy wading through that
directory.  If there is any way you can render your directory structure
less "flat", it will help improve both your dsmc and system performance (in that
there are obviously things using that directory on your system as well).
