I would guess that file access is faster, try it out. write a simple app that will
write data to a file, close it, open it write it etc. compare this to same on a db.
every computer every server is differnet, test to see what is fast on your system.
thats ultimitly the most importnat no? that it runs fast on *your* system not someones
in nowheres land.
A db I think would be easier to access, search, etc. I think personally I would use a
db. just for convienince sake. lets say on your chat program a user want to ignore
'updatelee' with a db your looking at a simple select statment, in a file, oi,
headache.
