Another recently committed patch upstream has taken out /dev/urandom as
the default random source for shred (the internal PRNG is back in).
shred is now at least 10 times faster.

I have opened (and marked fixed) an upstream task to signal a fix is
available on current trunk.

** Also affects: coreutils
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: coreutils
       Status: New => Fix Released
