From all I can tell, strings take up half again as much storage space as keys on average (as determined by llGetFreeMemory()), for the same character length.
Can anyone confirm or refute this? Any ideas why? I was thinking they might assume keys hold only ASCII characters so they take only one byte per character, but then they should be half as big, not two-thirds.....

Would have to probably ask Babbage or someone like that for the details, but Mono does have a fancy-pants System.Guid class that they could be using for keys.
eta: That would throw a FormatException for a malformed one and LSL takes it without complaint, but there could still be weirdness based on a subclass of that or something, under the covers.

the easy test would be to max out the script memory using keys and then strings... track with a counter
