This will run for a lot more than hours. Assuming it loops at 1 GHz (which it won't - it will be a lot slower than that), it will run for 10790283070806014188970 years. Which is about 83 billion times longer than the age of the universe.

damn - so maybe serveral threads generating guids is a better idea?

4 threads on a quad core processor would make it run in 20 billion times the age of the universe - so yeah, that would help a lot.

Perhaps run 20 billion threads and you will end it by the time the universe doubles its age.

What? I can't set /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max to 20 billion‽
Gotta send a bug report to the Linux kernel.
