Why is the Mersenne Twister in Base faster? #71

Just a short question because I have not found any hint for this in the docs. Why is the performance of the Base Mersenne Twister much faster than the performance of this one implemented here.

Ah, I'm sorry for missing this question :(

The base Mersenne Twister is a wrapper of dSFMT, which is a C library designed for fast random number generation.
