Haven't tried it, but I found that a class derived from Model with one attribute of type BlobProperty has the same baseline time as one with an empty StringListProperty. Further both of those are slightly faster then a Model with an single IntegerProperty. This makes sense as I wouldn't expect the BlobProperty to do anything with its data and I would expect StringListProperty to get no further then checking the number of items in the list in its processing.
