Performance: A hash table would be O(1) because you lookup the hash and get it. For a text file you could only hope for O(log n) with bisecting. Locks: No need to lock a hashtable. Needed very much to lock a file though. I don't support this database heavy database stuff. A key-value pair dataset would be enough. It's basically a perl one-liner. If you have a markup language for your database it's bloat. > > I know it is insecure, but I would store everything in a txt file where each > line is a link.
