performance for different kinds of row keys

Suppose two cases: 1. I have a Cassandra column family with non-composite row keys = incremental id 2. I have a Cassandra column family with a composite row keys = incremental id 1 : group id Which one will be faster to insert? And which one will be faster to read by incremental
