Let's draw hasty conclusions

  • The bottleneck seems to be rng

  • What if we don't have enough entropy and can't generate enough random numbers?

  • We need to scale out the rng service on multiple machines!

Note: this is a fiction! We have enough entropy. But we need a pretext to scale out.

(In fact, the code of rng uses /dev/urandom, which never runs out of entropy...
...and is just as good as /dev/random.)
