OK.

I hadn't heard about it; seems my PC's CPU is just barely new enough to 
support it (apparently with a timing of around 1300 cycles per RDRAND on 
the Zen+).

Would theoretically give around 2.85 million RNG's per second.

Though, either way, relying on it wouldn't be particularly portable 
(would need something x86+compiler+CPU specific). Could maybe make sense 
for seeding a PRNG though if target-specific code is OK in this sense.



Quick check:
One of the RNG's algos mentioned previously runs at roughly 300 million 
RNGs in one second.

One of the slightly faster designs pulls off around 800 million RNGs in 
one second.

...


Though, one can maybe divide RNGs into categories:
   Needs to be true random;
   Pseudorandom is OK, but it doesn't matter;
   Needs to be deterministic.
     RNG only provides appearance of randomness,
       but said randomness needs to play out the same for each run.

It is not "one size fits all" in this case...
