It's only a single XML file if you use a single shared preference
object.

You don't actually have to use the default one. If it does simplify
your life, you can use this:
http://developer.android.com/intl/de/reference/android/content/Context.html#getSharedPreferences(java.lang.String,
int)

...to get a preference file just for storing your data. Though I
suspect files aren't really any harder to use, and they will be a bit
faster.

You can even easily write the files compressed, using
java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream.
