I'm curious, why do you not store these as binary data or do you and you're saying that the UUID operations are better optimized than sorts on binary data?

I can compare a 128bit UUID in a single instruction, a 160-bit ksuid is a little weirder to work with at the hardware level.

Exactly what the sibling said, and the same applies to database operations (when they have a uuid type).
