In IRC just now, I did some testing for Justin on my own machine:

   - http://www.red-bean.com/kfogel/thinkpad-r60-debian.html
   - HEAD of Subversion trunk
   - Python 2.4.4
   - subversion/tests/cmdline/svn-test-work mounted as ramdisk

Timing just basic_tests.py over ra_local, we saw:

   With /dev/random:
     real 3m40.892s
     user 0m10.793s
     sys 0m7.792s

   With /dev/urandom:
     real 0m16.539s
     user 0m9.517s
     sys 0m7.108s

It's amazing what the addition of one little letter 'u' can do!
