Databases aren't my field, but I would expect this to hurt performance by decreasing locality of keys.

This, of course, assumes that temporally-adjacent additions are related, but this seems like a common case for large data sets since they often arise from a series of measurements or transactions.

I created this account to make this reply because I imagine that someone here is expert enough to set me straight if I'm mistaken.
