Unnecessarily reading large quantities of data will have a negative impact on other users of the /dev/random and /dev/urandom devices. Therefore, getrandom() should not be used for Monte Carlo simulations or other programs/algorithms which are doing probabilistic sampling.
In other words it shouldn't be used when not strictly necessary.
