Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Seriously, why are we obsessed with performance when talking about a security 
feature? Did anyone *actually* complain about urandom() being too slow (ok, 
someone complained about it eating file descriptors... :-))?

The question is whether OpenSSL's random generator produces better randomness 
than the system one: apparently it's not the case under Linux, how about other 
systems?
