/dev/random slow?



I've noticed that operations requiring entropy, like ssh and cfengine
key generation take 5 to 10 seconds, when on x86 they go much quicker.

Is this a known issue? Hardware is UE2 dual 300mhz, 512+ RAM. This is on
8 of these boxes with the same hardware and kernel, it's not isolated to
one or two boxes.

I'm running woody with the ultrasparc SMP 2.4.18 kernel.

You can lead an idiot to knowledge but you cannot make him think. 
You can, however, rectally insert the information, printed on stone
tablets, using a sharpened poker.
