Windows Is it okay to keep an ini file constantly open?

It might not save until you close it. If the program crashes, the data might be lost. Not sure though; it used to be an issue in the past.
It won't slow anything down, though.

It likely won't have any effect on FPS, but you'll need to close-reopen it time to time to actually save the updated file on disk.
I also made an extension which works with INI files without keeping the actual file open (converts to data structure), so you can open a file once and then keep updating it and calling file_ini_flush to save the changes to disk without having to close the file.

OOh that sounds handy! Does it work with .bin files as well or just .ini?
