A warning about uniqid!
I was at one point using uniqid in the DOMIT! xml parser to generate unique ids for each node that
was added to a DOM document.
But after running benchmarks on some different machines, I discovered that on machines with Celeron
processors, uniquid was horrendously slow. Here's one example:
Parse time for a 4k xml file:
Non-Celeron processor - ~0.2 seconds
Celeron processor - ~3.5 seconds
