Smita,

Dan and I were discussing the processing of these GUIDs vs the UUIDs offline.

Here we could separate out the comparisons and use a token for the event types
rather than passing the guid through to be converted into a uuid...

Thus this conversion is unnecessary.

But this will mean that the trace events will have no uuid printed (probably
not a big deal as the trace point itself has that information).

(This would change the 2nd patch as it would no longer be getting a uuid.)

Thoughts?
