They're not *that* important. I was just asking if there was a way to do this easily.
While the performance argument might be true it is heavily dependent upon concurrency. I'm doubting a PO system in the typical company has enough concurrency, and is sensitivity enough to small delays,
that giving up the benefit of sequential numbering would be a worthwhile trade-off.
