It wouldn't be even possible just to use RAND * 1 + IP within sysRPL? (that would solve it, otherwise even RAND is broken).

I mean already the missing checks for arguments when calling the internal RAND + and IP should save a lot of time, especially with hundreds/thousands of calls.

The only part of the command that's written in SysRPL is the outer shell -- the bulk of it is in Saturn code. I'd have to rewrite the whole thing, and there's already been some discussion about how the RAND * IP 1 + approach introduces a bias. It seems like that was part of the "Random thoughts" thread some time back. I still think that method is probably "good enough", but I'm sure there are others who don't.

The method that I've currently implemented (see this post) may in fact be "good enough" as well, but I don't know of a reasonable way to validate that assumption.
