I think you're asking the wrong question... Both options will very likely be constrained by I/O instead of CPU (in other words: do you know for certain that you have a CPU-bottleneck right now?) But both of them aren't well suited for inter process communication. Especially the "reading/writing config files" sounds particularly sketchy. Take a look at the myriad of options for *proper* inter-process communication (if that is what you're after). It also helps to describe your situation in more detail so we can give better answers.
