random generators time-critical?


Jim Blandy suggests that time critical stuff should be written in C.
Up to now, I thought that random number generators and distributors would be 
time-critical and thus better written in C and then wrapped (e.g. those from 
GSL) but I don't know if that is correct. There are pseudo random generators 
and distributions written in Scheme, e.g. by A. Jaffer. Anyone know it better?
