Can we use registry for..

Hi all, Is it ok if we write thousands of key-value entries into registry? How it will effect the performance of the system? Please suggest me.. (i know, this question is not related to this forum, but, i dont know where can i get exact information about this. i googled before posting the message to this forum, but, could not get proper information :( )

Probably not a good idea. Why not put them in a file, maybe (something like) a SQLite database or an XML file?
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Registry size is limited (to 25% of the paged pool). this can be changed by the user, though it's not obvious to most people how to do it. so, it's probably much better if you just write your data to a file.

I think it depends on how often does an ordinary user access registry. When it is used only during the application initialization it is relatively fast. Of course it has hardware constrains, but again, to the average user (word processing, e-mail etc.) with GB’s of RAM it should make little difference. My “ancient “ PC with circa 380 MB of RAM and 1 GHz processor struggles when I do key searches. I know this is not what you are asking. I guess to get a real answer you need to write a test program to really find out how registry interact with running application. Good luck. Cheers Vaclav
