But it can have performance implications at the DB level.

   - If not sequential, Index fragmentation ensues. Page splits, too.
   - As the UUID is probably the clustering key, it gets added to all NCIs,
   which in turn become larger and slower.
   - Database gets bigger. That means less stuff in proc and data cache,
   more io, longer backups and disaster recovery procedure.

That said, they are, indeed pretty useful to move stuff around. And using
sequential UUID does a good job of limiting the damage. No idea what far
cry does under the hood though, so I'll stop bitching.
