There is no real reason other than that it's simpler to write a single 
file than one per entry and that an addressbook contained in a single 
file is simpler to handle manually.

It will certainly make saving much faster. I don't think it will 
significantly slow down loading.

I think we should think about separating the addressbook into multiple 
files. This has some advantages, but on the other hand it's an 
implementation detail which should be hidden by the API and at the 
moment the priority should be to get the API right.
