If I use SuperMemo to learn a foreign language, will it create a separate file for each and every word entry? What will this do to performance?
If you use plain text components (as opposed to HTML), SuperMemo will keep all your text entries in one file. SuperMemo capacity for vocabulary is so large that your speed of learning will never allow you to ever notice a degradation in performance. Advanced English 2002 includes over 40,000 word-pairs and phrases. It can be binary searched on a new generation computer within a second. The delay when switching between items is imperceptible (except when sounds are loaded from a slow CD-ROM).
