I'm wondering is there a difference in terms of computing cost for the Model.get(keys) and Model.get_by_id(ids, parent=None) methods?

Is there a server side computing advantage of using numeric id's over encoded string keys, or other way around? How big is the difference?

PS. Sorry, if it's a dupe. I'm sure I read an article about it, but I cannot find it now.
