GetCurrentSID and EnumerateLoggedOnSIDs are functions that utilize a bit different method from the one I am about to describe. What they all do is guessing, accurate guessing. This function enumerates user profiles' SIDs with lesser uncertainty factor than the former. EnumerateProfileSids retrieves SIDs from the ProfileList registry key. I have worked out two variants, and chose the faster (because both are good and give the same results) one.First, I am going to present the slower variant. What does it do? It retrieves Sid values from ProfileList subkeys, explodes long hex values properly so that they can later be converted to decimal, thus to concatenate the decimal values into a valid SID.
This slow script also demonstrates a basic cache. When a newly encountered DWORD is converted, it is saved to a variable which is an array. When it encounters a DWORD that had already been converted, it gets the previously converted decimal form of the matching DWORD from that array. This cache takes only three biggest "parts" of an SID into account, because conversion of the latest DWORD (Relative ID) is very fast, hence it is not necessary for it to be saved.

The above variant is just a theoretical example, as it is terribly slow: it needs over 3 times (333%) the time the next one. The aim of writing it was to show that it is possible to handle hex values, plus properly converting them to decimal (this script can cope with DWORDs decimal value of which exceeds 2^31-1). It is slow, but it works, and is possible.
This one also gets data from the ProfileList key, but acts more lazily. It just gets user name from ProfileImagePath value of each existing key of the pattern of a "typical" SID, and takes the subkey name, which is believed to be always equal with what's in Sid value in that subkey.
My objective opinion on why did Microsoft decide to store SID in one place in two forms
I think it is that it could be faster for the OS to grab "raw" SID (in hexadecimal form) from a REG_BINARY value rather than to convert string SID (included in the key name) to hexadecimal form each time it's needed.
Here is the faster one.

Rarely do I recommend others' work, but in this case that page assured me about my guesses.
A bit off-topic: I overtook the future a bit, because the slower variant of the function I described uses Hex2Dec procedure I am going to release. I have it ready, and I will publish it soon so please hold on from using
sid16_10 because it is truncated for needs of the script. The original ("full") one supports numbers greater than 2^64.
