I was citing the micro benchmarks because they provide a pessimistic comparison in favor of other RNGs. My recollection is that it appeared as a conference paper, but I'd need to ask the author.

Why would one claim they're fast, then simply fiddle with benchmarks so they find a place where they look fast?

When someone wants a fast RNG, they're not calling it 10 times per sec. They're hammering it for actual needs.
