The BAD news though, is that it would appear the floating point generation on linux is *bad*. As in, so bad, it's faster to just generate integrals and divide. Arguably, I think the "native" double generation might be of slightly higher quality, but I don't think it is worth the cost.
"Bad" is a relative term. It might be slower, but you might (I don't know) be getting something that has better statistical quality. So, what you might prefer to use depends on your use-case.
