Thanks, St?fan, speed: N ~ 1e9.  Thanks again.

 Is np.random.randint(2, size=N) the fastest way to do this?  Thanks!

 Are you concerned about speed or memory use? The operation you show should
 already be quite fast. A more memory efficient approach would be to
 generate integers and use their binary representation.
