fasta.java-3.java calls the method next(), implementing the linear congruential generator, 200,000,000 times, once for each randomly generated DNA character in the output file.

But what about that fasta Java 6 -server #3 program?

The fastest program shown here is in Java and runs in 1.72 seconds.
However, at the bottom of the page (under "interesting alternative"
programs) there is a C++ program that runs in 0.25 seconds; it seems
to work basically the same way that my program does.

So this Clojure program will probably be relegated to the bottom of
the page.

Should it be relegated to the bottom of the page?
