I know that having non-sequential IDs is bad for index performance. But assuming all my IDs are created in correct order, but with large gaps: i.e:
154300000
283700000
351300000
464200000
...will the performance be any worse than having gapless auto_increment IDs?
I'll be using MySQL, or perhaps PostgreSQL. The gaps between the IDs would not be even. They'll be BIGINTs with a unix timestamp at the start (left side) of the number, and the rest of the numbers mostly being random, as discussed in another question I asked here:
