Oh, it's still moot [because of the I/O], it is just that at a micro level,
using strings rather than integers [in the ID structure] is a negative
impact.

Seriously... the ID structure should be integers. Thus, you would also want
to marshal the IDs into BDB as integers.

Do you have a specific problem with that approach?
