I saw this post while looking up old PDL nodes, and you mentioned PDL there. PDL as of 2.062 uses a "better" (and thread-safe, for potential massive performance gainz) pseudo-random number generator, xoroshiro256plus (see link for thorough statistical analysis of it and competing algorithms) rather than the often-weak and usually non-thread-safe system rand() that Perl uses.
