I am considering different index mappings, and I am wondering: is [Ids query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-ids-query.html) faster than basic [terms query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-terms-query.html#query-dsl-terms-query), on a keyword field, which would have the value of the desired Id.

Anyone with any experience with this?  
Thanks.
