    Warm up RNG when --random_seed is used · 88c5da04
    Alexei Filippov authored
    The RNG state is initialized with random_seed parameter that usually
    has lots of zeros. Each random generation iteration shuffles bits with
    xor operation over the state. It takes a while before the state is populated
    with enough 1s and starts generating uniformly distributed numbers.
    
    The patch warms up the state with 32 iterations when --random_seed is used.
