Best way to save data

yo.

Each player is going to get some data (just a few Doubles each). Here's my questions:

1. Should they each have their own file, or one big file for all of them?
2. Should data be saved periodically (every minute?, plus onDisable()) or every time data gets changed?

either way would take up the same amount of resource if you only load it when needed, or wise if you load it once and keep it in memory one big file is best just not good to edit really whereas individual files are easier to edit.

Hope you understand what im getting @

 

Yeah I suppose if I put everybody in one big file, I have to load all of them every time... It'll make saving take longer too.

Okay, I'll use individual files, but I'm not sure about saving. For some reason I feel like saving every time I change something for a player will cause lag.

These files will just be a few kb in size.
