No, that I can safely say wouldn't be a good idea.

I started off recording partition information to raw text files and it 
was a nightmare keeping it straight. Switching to a database cut the 
number of line in half and made the program a lot more reliable. I am 
sure it made it slower though but the reliability was needed. Maybe a 
better programmer could make text files work (I am still pretty much a 
n00b, after all).
