in reply to Re^6: Random data generation.
in thread Random data generation.
$buf is populated by gen_salva2 but instead of generating data for just one output string it generates data for 100 of them (a few less, actually). Next calls to gen_salva2 do not need to fill $buf again as it already contains data (until exhausted, then it is refilled).
That's also the reason my previous comment said it was faster on average!
