RNG question

Hi,

I had considered doing some programming in visual studio on windows and I
really miss the easy arc4random*() routines there.

Out of boredom I started looking at /sys/dev/rnd.c and have a question now.
Before twisting the pool, enqueue_randomness() has a component of time if
I'm not misreading. Why is this done?

Thanks!
