what real-world problem, if any, does 10x faster UUID generation solve?

from your readme, `guid.New()` is 6~10 ns, so presumably the standard UUID package takes 60-100 ns?

say I generate a UUID, and then use that UUID when inserting a row into my database, let's say committing that transaction takes 1 msec (1 million ns)

if I get a speedup of 90 ns from using a faster UUID package, will that even be noticeable in my benchmarks? it seems likely to be lost in the noise.

honestly, this seems like going on a 7-day road trip, and sprinting from your front door to your car because it'll get you there faster.

Amazon AWS S3 web servers process millions of requests per second, and each response generates a random Request-Id. It’s not exactly 16 bytes, but this is a very realistic scenario where guids are used in hot path. If you are writing a cute-kitten blog, might as well use Python instead..
