Activate / deactivate modules

[eluser]GlennJ[/eluser]
I'm working on a project at the moment which will utilise the modular separation library. But I would like to build the system in such a way that modules can be turned on/off.

Now I could do this in 2 obvious ways - by config file, or by DB table.

What do people think? Is there much in it performance wise as DB reads are reasonably cheap these days?

I, personally, would set it up in a database table with boolean fields for each module in the application. That way you can set up an admin interface to control all of it and/or view what the current settings are, alot easier then ftp-ing files down or ssh-ing into the server just to view/update some config boolean settings.
