I'm slightly concerned about performance when it comes to
reading/writing to disk a lot when doing things like that, since if
this
thing ever needs to scale I want it to be able to do that.
There is always an overhead but it depends what you
mean by "a lot".
You might choose to only write on updates, only write when
users leave the system, only write when the system closes
down or write periodically (either a timed period or when
certain resource levels get above/below critical levels)
Lots of options. You need to choose a strategy that works
for your situation.
