Group all page templates/ cpt templates in custom subdfolders

I’m trying to undesrdtand how to group all my custom post types templates in a subfolder and same for my page templates.
I saw that wp allow and recognize the creation of the folder page-templates for group the page templates but i could not find a similar way for the cpt templates.

Here is a way for group them in a folder with a custom name without slowing to much wp?

I read on some posts in WordPress Development ( 2013 answer so since then maybe something has changed ) that you can achieve something similare by creating a function like this

 
add_filter( 'template_include', 'wpse119820_use_different_template' );
function wpse119820_use_different_template( $template ){

   if( is_post_type_archive( 'entry' ) ){
       //"Entry" Post type archive. Find template in sub-dir. Look in child then parent theme

       if( $_template = locate_template( 'my-sub-dir/archive-entry.php' ) ){
            //Template found, - use that
            $template = $_template;
       }
   }            

   return $template;
}

but as i can see it seems that you should define this for every cpt created, and i read also that this can slow a bit wordpress becouse it will search in that folder as at the last attempt to find the file.

Here is a faster way ? ( Maybe also for page templates, i would like a custom folder name instead of ‘page-templates’ )
