FPC uses MT at least for 10 years and nobody complained about
performance yet. So I suspect the cases might be very rare when random
performance matters and having good random numbers is always a good
thing ... I prefer not to change it but it's fine for me for delphi
compatibility's sake ;)
Or maybe it's because no one had anything to compare it to. I have a
program that sends encrypted data every night to our data base. The
encryption part (which I wrote with random numbers) is VERY slow. I
never gave it much thought since it is running at a time where not much
else is happening. But I will look into it now.
