So, a few results without the optimized away loop:

 1.006349   0.398377
 1.035722   0.373584
 1.026238   0.368511
 0.964631   0.400756

Restructuring init_array() to not use shifts, but using
a pointer to char for direct byte reads, didn't seem to
help any.  Results hovered around the same values.

Maybe, computing a long-term result would slightly favor
one method over the other.  I didn't compare source via
gcc -S.  One is likely to produce fewer instructions.

I also considered calling rand() more frequently to
eliminate shifts, but I didn't test that.  I presumed
that rand() takes longer than the shifts.

FYI, those results are for:

3.2Ghz AMD Phenom II X2 555 (dual core)
64-bit VLocity Linux (VectorLinux)
GCC 4.7.2
