Q:

Performance: Templates in a Database or a File? 

What is the fastest way to store templates?  In a database (SQL Server) or a file?  Those template can be from 1KB to ~15KB (usually 1-3KB). 
After reading the template, I'm parsing it with Regex to HTML.  I've <div>[Block Parameter="Value" Parameters2="SomeValue" ...]</div> for example, so please consider that. 
Thanks. 

A:

Reading a file will be faster than database access.  But with DB you get bonus: transactions, concurrent access, ...
