Not so much because they are fast, though, but because they produce more evenly distributed (less clumpy) numbers.

- seanhunter 7y agoYes but this (sometimes/often) means you actually need less paths in your MC simulation and therefore makes it faster overall. Obviously depending on what you're trying to simulate and what the underlying stochastic processes are etc. I guess my point was there are often legitimate uses for things that are random-like but far from crypto random.
