Honestly, I don't care about 2x differences here. How many milliseconds do you save? The PRNG in SciPy is fast enough for 99% of any use I can conceive. I have yet to see a program speed-limited by the PRNG. Projects that are speed limited by the PRNG could take the hassle to compile their own. And if speed is that important, perhaps one should not use the Mersenne Twister at all? http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/msg/e3c4ea1169e463ae?dmode=source http://groups.google.com/group/sci.crypt/msg/12152f657a3bb219?dmode=source S.M. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
