Description

In the next SAP release, SAP development switched from their own implementation
for generating UUIDs to to the OS vendor's implementations.
During investigating this one, they ran several performance tests.
These tests look very bad for Solaris (on their SPARC system, but can also
be tracked on x64 systems).
The problems are not with the absolute numbers but the difference between
their old implementation (RFC_UUID) and the OS provided one (OS_UUID).
As you can see, their difference is a factor 740 for Solaris,
50 for Linux and 16 for HPUX.
I have attached the source of their test program to this e-mail.
I also attached the x64 and the SPARCv9 binaries.
Make your own tests with
uuidtime.x64 -u=1000000
and
uuidtime.sparcvi -u=1000000
