Fast? yes.

Needs to produce reproduceable sequence? Yes, but only because of unit 
testing.

Equal to rand()? I'm not sure we need to keep that.

My idea was to simply securely pre-seed the PRNG before you had a chance to 
use it, in each thread. If you need to seed it to something constant to get 
constant results, you'd still be able to.
