Sorry but have you actually profiled it?

Because I've tested and was very surprised... Results, from my laptop, for 500000 calls:

Код:

random
 -> Average time per call :    68 ns
 -> Total execution time :    34 ms
 -> Calls per second   : 14705883 calls

MRandom
 -> Average time per call :  51258 ns
 -> Total execution time :  25629 ms
 -> Calls per second   :  19509 calls

(took the best 2 results)

My profiling method:

pawn Код:

#define BENCH_INIT(%1); new BT1=GetTickCount(),BT2,BI1,BI2=%1;

#define BENCH(%1(%2)); \
{\
  for(BI1=0;BI1<BI2;BI1++)\
    %1(%2);\
\
  BT2=GetTickCount();\
  BT1=BT2-BT1;\
\
  printf("\n"#%1"\n -> Average time per call : %8.f ns\n -> Total execution time : %8d ms\n -> Calls per second   : %8.f calls",\
  (float(BT1)/BI2)*1000000,BT1,(float(BI2)/BT1)*1000);\
\
  BT1=BT2;\
}

main()
{
  BENCH_INIT(500000);

  BENCH(random(101));
  BENCH(random(101));
  BENCH(MRandom(100));
  BENCH(MRandom(100));
  BENCH(random(101));
  BENCH(random(101));
  BENCH(MRandom(100));
  BENCH(MRandom(100));
}

Just being curious about how you noticed a speed increase because as you can see, random() is about 750x faster
