Connection Strings in the Windows Registry --- Performance?

I was recently cautioned against storing an ADO.NET Connection String in the
Windows Registry because access to the Windows Registry would be serialized
and therefore impact scalability.

I have been able to find reasons to not use the Registry for storing
Connection Strings, but the reasons given seem to be security-related.

Does anyone know if there are performance-related reasons for NOT storing
Connection Strings in the Windows Registry?

Thanks!
 
I see your point. Even if there is serialization, you can work around it by
caching and refreshing the cache periodically. Thank you :-)

I am still also trying to verify if this serialization will indeed occur.
