I have used the `haveged` package to keep my /dev/urandom "topped up" when randomizing disks. Greatly shortened the time needed to fill my disks. No idea about the quality of randomness, though.
I looked at it now. It seems to observe some real entropy, but I think they overestimate the amount. Some of the events they count show up in some/many counters, and I don't see any attempt to estimate or account for covariance.
So, yes, good stuff IMHO, but I don't think it's actually hundreds of megabits per second. Still, even 1kbps of real entropy isn't bad.
