"When generating matrices and vectors of floats and integers, these flavors are very fast. "

But when I compare the new

time[real](Generate(('Matrix')(float, 300, 300)))

and

time[real](RandomMatrix(300, 300))

I find RandomMatrix over 300 times faster. Am I doing something wrong, or is RandomMatrix still the fastest way to generate random numbers?
