However, I still think that for performance reasons, the GUID getting generated at compile time is better. Don't know with whom I can discuss this and understand more why it is generated at link time if there is any genuine reason.


Why do you think it's faster to generate at compile time? The reason the GUIDs are generated at bind time is that only at bind time is there all the information needed to generate the GUID. Generating stable component relies on hashing the path, which is usually not known at compile time.
