I finally managed to get some time to start looking at this. I have
created a ticket here
<a href="https://github.com/haskell/random/issues/25">https://github.com/haskell/random/issues/25</a>
Please add comments and any information you think Carter and I might
find helpful.
I discovered the package has some benchmarks that are 3+ years old. At
the moment, I am not sure what they are telling me. If anyone has any
background / views please chip in.
