Sorry to send a followup to a Summary, but I thought I'd add that
I finally got around to looking at this and it ROCKS ... drops right
in and OpenSSH just takes advantage of it - MUCH snappier performance
and exactly what happened with Solaris when they came out with the
Solaris 2.8 /dev/random patch - highly recommended! ;-)

P.S. Here are some before/after timings on a lightly loaded C240
doing the following command "/bin/time ssh localhost date"
   TIMES BEFORE AFTER
   Real 10.5 3.5
   User 4.5 1.0
   Sys 2.0 0.1
