Well, space savings of this sort usually also translate to speed savings
because the row size decreases mean that fewer disk blocks are involved
in table operations and a greater percentage of the rows can be cached
in any bounded amount of RAM.

I don't know what the average record size is right now, but I suspect
that adding 36 bytes of UUID to it won't help matters.
