Why not test it? Because depending on HOW you process the directory or XML file could have an impact. But, I would have to assume that an XML file would be more efficient.

 

How many files are we talking about. If it's a small number then performance won't be an issue. And there are other considerations. For example, with an XML solution the data is only as good as the last time the XML file was created. By using the file system your results will be updated in real-time.
