Bug Description
With enhanced debiasing, twuewand now takes a noticeable amount of time to generate 8 bytes (over 1 second, compared with 0.125 seconds before). This process can be backgrounded, and as long as it's being backgrounded, we can increase the amount of entropy generated to a better number. 128 bytes would be a good compromise of CPU work and total time (about 15 seconds in the background).
