I don't really understand what you mean by 'performance'. To me it is not surprising that incrementing (I know it is not just incrementing) a 64bit integer is faster than generating 128 bit data with a good amount of random data even if it seems to be too slow. So in my opinion you need to separate 1) generating data (which might happen on the client in case of UUID and not in the db...) 2) inserting data 3) selecting data
in both sequential as well as parallel scenarios. Am Mo., 6.
