I've got a UUID in the URL of a new system (not a real UUID, but 128 random bits encoded in the UUID format), because that kept the existing links active. If someone were to guess one (which isn't that interesting, BTW, it's not account info or anything like it), he'd have a hard time checking a million per second, because the response is never going to be faster than 10ms or so.
