    Sequential GUIDs definitely would make sense.

    I'm not so sure that's true. If the computer is rebooted, the start of a new sequence might not be > the largest guid already in the table. I think you could end up with massive page splits anyway.

    Yes, but still at just a single point in the tree for the newly rebooted server. Still much better than the alternative in my experience.

    Best,
