It could be (not knowing the specific database) that the db understands the
contents and can query on the properties, which would make huge differences in
performance.
Say you store:
1 -> { "id" : 1, "name" : "one" }
2 -> { "id" : 2, "name" : "two" }
…
99999 -> …
You could then ask the db for the object where name = "one hundred" without
reading all of them (but the db would have to do that of course). Maybe even
indexes are possible.
