I used to do the same thing years ago, when urandom wasn't the
default. Then it became the default, and for yet more years I had no
problems. Then, somehow, for reasons unknown to me, it apparently
stopped being the default in the APR that comes with HTTPD 2.2.4 and
2.2.6 -- because although I did not specify a random device when I
configured, I was clearly getting the slower (but randomer)
/dev/random, not /dev/urandom.
By that time I had forgotten about the random-vs-urandom thing,
though, so I just assumed my tests were taking longer because we had
more tests, or something. Now that I'm specifying /dev/urandom
explicitly, things are fast for me again.

Thanks!
