1.14 seconds to get 2 random 512-byte string. Maybe there is another
problem. First, I thought that maybe the machine is running on low
entropy and for some reason, /dev/random is used. But hypothesis uses a
seed and no random data after that. Maybe there is a bug in hypothesis.

I don't want to spend my Debian time fixing random test suites. I want
to keep the test suite as is as it is the best tool for me to detect
regressions on new version. I am not one to agree with the fact that
test suite should run in all environments, even reasonable ones (like
the 1-CPU one Santiago tested).
