Update:
I used this script to time normal and uniform with the profiler:
```
import mxnet
from mxnet import profiler, np, npx, nd
profiler.set_config(profile_all=True,
aggregate_stats=True,
continuous_dump=True,
filename='profile_output.json')
profiler.set_state('run')
for i in range(1000): # 5
A = np.random.normal(0, 1, (2, 2, 2, 2, 2)) # (2**30)
B = np.random.uniform(0, 1, (2, 2, 2, 2, 2)) # (2**30)
npx.waitall()
profiler.set_state('stop')
print(profiler.dumps())
```
With shape = (2, 2, 2, 2, 2), 1000 runs, results as follows:

I think the difference is quite insignificant. Theoretically speaking the
(indexing : actual computation) ration should be really small. At least random
ops are indexing-heavy
