+ algorithm that enables using it without the overhead

+ according to a classical Multiplicative Congruential Generator
+ (a.k.a Multiplicative Linear Congruential Generator,

+ Park-Miller random number generator).
+ 
+ 
+ This generator uses the modulus 2^35 - 31
+ and the multiplication constant 185852
+ from the paper "Tables of Linear Congruential Generators
+ of different sizes and good lattice structure" by
+ Pierre L'Ecuyer (1997) and they are selected
+ for speed to keep the computation under

+

+ The generator may be written as
+ <c><anno>X1</anno>&nbsp;=&nbsp;(185852*<anno>X0</anno>)&nbsp;rem&nbsp;((1&nbsp;bsl&nbsp;35)-31)</c>,
+ but the properties of the chosen constants has allowed
+ an optimization of the otherwise expensive <c>rem</c> operation.
+ 
+ 
+ On a typical 64 bit Erlang VM this generator executes
+ in just below 10% (1/10) of the time
+ for the default algorithm in this module.
+ 
+ <note>
+ 
+ This generator is only suitable for insensitive
+ special niche applications since it has
+ a short period (2^35 - 32),
+ few bits (under 35),
+ is not a power of 2 generator (range 1 .. (2^35 - 32)),
+ offers no help in generating numbers on a specified range,
+ etc...
+ 
+ 
+ But for pseudo random load distribution
+ and such it might be useful, since it is very fast.

+ of different sizes and good lattice structure" by

+ 
+ On a typical 64 bit Erlang VM this generator executes

+ for the default algorithm in this module,
+ which is the fastest generator the author has seen.
+ It can hardly be beaten by even a BIF
+ implementation of any generator since the execution
+ time is close to the overhead of a BIF call.
+ 
+ <note>
+ 
+ This generator is only suitable for insensitive
+ special niche applications since it has
+ a short period (2^35), few bits (35),
+ offers no help in generating numbers on a specified range,
+ and has, among others, the known statistical artifact
+ that the lowest bit simply alternates,
+ the next to lowest has a period of 4,
+ and so on, so it is only the highest bits
+ that achieve any form of statistical quality.
+ 
+ 
+ But for pseudo random load distribution
+ and such it might be useful, since it is extremely fast.
+ The <seemfa marker="#mcg35/1"><c>mcg35/1</c></seemfa>
+ generator above has got less statistical artifacts,
+ but instead other pecularities since it is not
+ a power of 2 generator.
