Actually it would, each new file introduces more disk read time, file open, file close time. Then depending on the language it may have to create a new json parser, parse the file, and then destroy the json parser. With 1-2 files its not that big of a deal, but as it scales up the issue becomes more and more of a bottle neck<br>

It shouldn&#39;t matter too much whether N messages are in 50 or 1000 files (made<br>
up numbers) on the time how much it takes to parse them.<br>
