Rules processing overhead - El Forum - 07-15-2011

Hi guys!
I'm building a web application that allows each customer to have their own preferences.
As you can imagine, this extends to the forms, specifically the form validation process.
I've come up with a way of allowing these preferences access to each field:
1. by adding a custom rule to each field, which when run, will;
2. check against a config file for any specific preference that may or may not apply to that field, and;
3. should there be any specific requirements, then additional functions will be invoked.
What kind of processing over head (if any) would this technique incur?
