Hello,

For your information, I plan to release "soon" a package with a fast and
multithreaded aware RNG for C++ code in R packages.
It is currently part of one of my (not yet accepted) packages and I want to
extract it into its own package.
I plan to do some quick benchmarks too.

Of course I can not define exactly when it will be ready.

Best,
Karl
