the 'c' in normc stans for 'normal distribution with cut-off'. The
parameters 0.2 and 2 are the cut-off parameters and this means the sampled
speedFactor values will allways be in the range [0.2, 2].

Tne range of 80%-120% comes from the fact that for a normal distribution,
95% of the results are within 2*SD of the mean. And sd =0.1 causes 95% of
the factors to be within [0.8,1.2].
