  The ISAAC RNG, of which I have some experience and have found to be of
very decent quality (should be rather cryptographically strong) and very
fast, and with a very large period. Also according to my experience it's
faster than Mersenne Twister without the need for special compiler options
(the MT can be made as fast, but only if you create a special SSE version
of it).

  (Of course speed is not really crucial here, but the quality should be
very good.)
