In a cluster of machines a PRNG kernel update and verification process seems tedious and difficult to tidy up after a problem is found or suspected. First benchmark it. If it slows the system down without advantage it will not be welcome except as an optional service and device. Spinlocks ... hmmm... now I need to look at how the kernel can ignore or not need them? -- T o m M i t c h e l l (on NiftyEgg[.]com )
