VERY belated apologies for not getting back to you here.  I was preparing an
email on the nice features of RandomSample -- e.g. that you can use it to sample
lines from a file -- when I realized that actually there was a bug that stopped
you from doing that:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10265

So I stopped to prepare a fix, and then I got distracted with a bunch of things
I realized could be done to improve std.random ... :-P

Anyway, I _will_ do the benchmark.  Just might be a little while.
