It was actually a big performance boost by changing to the dashed
format. Internally, LLUUID is just a wrapper around the .NET Guid
object which has a ToString() method that produces a dashed UUID. The
non-hyphenated version removed the dashes which required an additional
memory allocation on top of searching through the string, and I decided
to just drop it completely. If you want to implement the same
functionality in your client code it is just mystring.Replace('-','');
but I would recommend switching over to the hyphenated version that is
here to stay.<br>

i guess the question is just: is this going to be the format for the
future and does it justify updating existing DBs or is this going to
change again...<br>

sorry, i should have been more specific: the ToString() format changed
from non-dashed to dashed. <br>
