and individual keys can be secured (even on systems that use FAT,
which doesn't otherwise support security).
But that doesn't mean that it's free.
The cost of opening a key, reading a value, and closing it is around 60,000 to 100,000 cycles (I'm told). And that's assuming the key you're looking for is in the cache. If you open the key and hold it open, then the act of reading a value costs around 15,000 to 20,000 cycles. (These numbers are estimates for Windows XP; actual mileage may vary.)...
