The values supplied to the 'read random data from FIFO' arithmetic are not correct. The value fed in to initialise the iterator describes the FIFO depth, but then the iterator is treated in Bytes and subsequently increased by 2 in value for every read word. This means only 4 of the 8 available values are being read during each invocation of .read(). This change increased the device bandwidth by a factor of 2.
