"There are many random number generators out there, among
which the fast and well-studied linear congruential generators."
     ^
You are missing an "are"

Personally I'd append something like:

"Therefore we wish to test the parameters to our generator" to the
paragraph starting "But there is a rub."

Also:

The penultimate paragraph about interpretation process being slow seems
rather redundant. It's just an implementation detail and dmd compiles
huge libraries 1000x faster than c++ anyway.
