The following code produces about a half-million random 32-bit
integers/sec. on my Pentium M 1.7Ghz based Latitude D800:
byte[] buf = new byte[4];
RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
int val = Rand(buf, rng);
...
int Rand(byte[] buffer, RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng)
{
rng.GetBytes(buffer);
return BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 0);
}
