I guess that's a matter of perspective. Taking the time to rewrite an RNG as a C extension certainly doesn't make the library any faster, but it means the benchmark results give you better information about library performance because a larger percentage of the benchmark timing comes from library calls.

Oh man... that's depressing. We need some serious cross-module optimization.
