Btw I quickly added the run-time for C++ (for G++ and clang++ 
with -O3) and it doesn't look that bad:

Note that for comparison between languages the speed of the 
random engine plays a major role and that superior performance 
was never a top priority for this generic method (statistical 
quality is far more important). However I will work more on being 
faster than <random> for common distributions over the next weeks 
;-)
