Zbyszek Szmek <zbyszek at in.waw.pl> added the comment:

The hashing with random seed is only marginally slower or more 
complicated than current version.

The patch is big because it moves random number generator initialization 
code around. There's no "per object" tax, and the cost of the random 
number generator initialization is only significant on windows. 
Basically, there's no "tax".
