Good day.

I am using XenAPI for a long time. We have found some performance issues
with XenAPI: the conversion from OpaqueRef to UUID. Each OpaqueRef
should be resolved manually, and this almost doubles request amount.

I got used to them, but I still do not understand why they was
introduced in XenAPI.

Could someone describe me the reason behind OpaqueRefs? Why they are
only valid within a single session? Why they are added in the fist
place?
