If different processes write to one file at a time, then there is a risk of file corruption (but not filesystem corruption). The corruption is usually that one of the concurrent writes is simply lost. Then it's better to have separate files e.g. in separate directories.
Regarding disk load, it would be best to have a memory filesystem, a RAM disk or the /tmp in Solaris (tmpfs).
