You are correct. I misread the article. We use different terms for this stuff internally, having both simple offset based, and continuation token based, which is essentially a mix between what the author describes as key-set and cursor based and using a different FE API. IMO, the performance would come down to the underlying database query: you could get faster key-set in some cases, and faster cursor based in others if the query was hitting a good index and using fewer joins. Both approaches, "key set" and "cursor based" let you search based off index, so I don't see how one could be inherently faster?
