        1.  

          Do web apps see any performance gain?

            It would be interesting to see some examples of speedups. I imagine most web apps calling mqlread have significant network overheads.

        2.  

          But you shouldn't always replace an ID with a GUID

            guids and ids serve slightly different purposes:

            • ids are for concepts
            • guids are for graph nodes

            This should guide your usage more than performance.
