a registry hive. They didn't do a perfect job, but if you have the registry mounted as a file system as on 'cygwin' or as is done in /proc or /sys, you still have file-like access to small config+setting files that can be an interface to a system library or 1-or-more files. MS went to that format about 2 decades ago, and while it could be improved upon, it's still more efficient in terms of speed and storage than 100's or 1000's of tiny files scattered over a disk.
Not if you use a filesystem like reiserfs, which is designed for that precise usage: database on the filesystem structure :-) I remember what they said at the time: that you could have a million files in a single directory, and access any of them instantly. Well, the "instant" defined by rust; it would be in a flash on flash media ;-) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
