If I understand correctly that you are using urandom as a random generator I wouldn't trust too much on this performance. Urandom uses the systemwide entropy-pool. If other programs need this pool too, your performance can drop spectaculary. If you are using a linux machine just try to execute "od -x /dev/random" at the same time as your program. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
