[V4MD] 4 files or 1

[Daniel Crowder]

Just a quick question (that I'm sure has been addressed a multitude of 
times). I've read that having 4 files making up your database is a bit 
better as it reduces your chances for having the data corrupt. However, 
what about speed? Is a single file database any slower than one split 
into four files?

I am creating an application that will check a server to update it's 
data. It simply replaces its local database with one from the web 
server. I'd like to have a single file but will go through the extra 
trouble of programming around four files if everyone thinks its worth 
it.
