Yes, running a lot of monte carlo simulations back-to-back.  if the
PRNG were twice as fast, my code would be twice as fast.  It isn't that
unbelievable...

Honestly, I don't feel like arguing about this anymore.  Its a matter
of "show me the code," and when I have the time, I will "show you the
code."
