not really.
there are 2 scenarios that can cause confusion:
1) several clients, none of which is really bad by itself, but they
all contribute to excess CPU load
2) errors by the kernel scheduler that make a particular client
look bad, when its really not
torben has done some work to reduce the impact of both of these, and
in all honest (2) is an issue that JACK can't really solve.
the first case is reduced by forcing a "bad client" to be one that on
its own takes more than an entire JACK period to execute.

no, this problem is unaffected by the type of "identifier" used for the clients.
