I agree. Regularly saving the data into .ini files isn't good, as the file I/O is also quite slow actually.
Why not just make some arrays to store the data you want to access, and save them all into the database when the player leaves? This is much faster than storing everything into the large database and access them every time you want to get the data.

Unless your server is unstable, making real-time saving systems do no good to it.
