1. I thought uniqid() was terribly slow.
2. These new generated IDs are twice the size of the old IDs - mainly  
because the new IDs are limited to 16 bytes while the old IDs used 36  
bytes and thus could pack the same amount of information into a  
smaller string (technically we could use any ASCII printable character  
to compact the ID even more...)  Again, not a big deal when looked at  
singly but imagine a system with millions of users with millions of  
Message-IDs - these IDs are now going to take up a not insignificant  
larger chunk of storage.

Not that I have a better solution at the second.
