[QUOTE] More news regarding performance hit with KeyValues class. It seems that the performance of the KeyValues class is not as good as I thought. The time to read seems to go up exponentially depending on the amount of records that are contained within the KeyValues style file. I tested with some auto generated data based on my stats code. To read 15000 records, 4.9 seconds. To write 15000 records, 18.5 seconds. To read 30000 records, 34 seconds. To write 30000 records, 105 seconds. As you can see that is quite a jump in the amount of time taken and is certainly not the case of 'twice as many records = twice the amount of time' Mani [/QUOTE] On 6/12/07, LDuke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You could try "rolling your own." > > Mani was discussing KeyValues on IRC a while back.
