Relax, this isn't for generating fake data. :-D  It's for a simulation,
and actually my use case mainly involves small values of N. So
technically I don't need to optimize it to this extent; it's just a
nice-to-have and a fun exercise to make it resistant to performance
degradation by unusually large inputs.
