No, your test is fine.  I was worrying about performance when you get a UUID
from somewhere off the box.  I think that 500 per second is pretty good
unless your design uses unique identifier keys incorrectly - not necessarily
your fault but definitely your problem if it happens to you.

-|Thank's to all who helped with GENUUID(). It's working great!
-|
-|Richard,
-|
-|With respect to the latency warning, are you referring to potential
-|performance bottlenecks, or a risk of duplicate ID's?
-|
-|Your warning did get me thinking, so I decided to run a crude
-|little test. I
-|created a PF with a single field to store the UUID value, and no primary
-|key. I then created a program that called GENUUID() and wrote a PF record
-|with the result, for 5000 iterations. The program was submitted to three
-|different subsystems (jobs held) and all three were released
-|within a second
-|of each other. It took about 8 seconds for all jobs to complete.
-|Finally, I
-|did an ADDPFC TYPE(*PRIKEY) in order to test for uniqueness. Everything
-|worked just fine.
-|
-|Do you think my test was too simplistic?
