On a multithreaded program like Orego (running on a multicore machine), it moves the nontrivial random number generation out of the synchronized part of the program and into the threads.
I'm surprised to hear this. Do you have a single random number generator? In housebot, Each thread has its own random number generator instance. Besides avoiding a bottleneck as each thread generates random numbers, it also opens the door for repeatable behavior in a single worker thread.
