Hmmh. I'm not sure I see the problem... methods are
not synchronized as far as I can see; and the
implementation seems quite straight-forward? But even
if it was fully synchronized, we'd be talking about
something like 10 - 100 usec blocking (plus related
cache flushes maybe)... possibly a problem for some
systems, but only for selected few.

Anyway, sorry for the side track, I'm just curious to
know issues and concerns there are WRT using uuids.
