In my book more small INI files is much preferable than one large one. The reason is that for each read of an INI file the client reads the whole file. That means that if you have a 20K file
and needed to make 100 reads then you have to pull 2 Meg to the client over the network. Each Write means a READ of the whole file then a WRITE of the whole.
