is that effective to store big list of strings?

[Kang Jeong-Hee <Keizi mail co kr>]

I'm making an applet to play music files.
and I wonder if it's effective to store the playlist in gconf.
the list may be a big length, even bigger than any other schema that gconf ever had, as you can suspect.
so it's hard to decide to invoke gconf or not.

if not gconf, what util of gnome shall I use?
I know .m3u is really simple and easy.
but I wanna experiment gnome modules as many as I can.
gnome-vfs is the answer?
