The random numbers are drawn once and then repeated regularly. This
behavior has always bothered me but never enough to spend the time
needed to fix it (it's not immediately obvious how to do it). A
workaround is to use a
sleep $((RANDOM \% 512)) && run_whatever
construct. The number to the right of the modulo should be a power of 2
to avoid modulo bias.
