No problems at all, with any seed.

RISC and CISC have different sets of problems here, but I would expect that
a CISC with a long pipeline would be the hardest to deal with. In any case,
the O/S is probably as big a part of the problem as the CPU.

And, of course, my Amiga with a 68000 will die instantly. Must be something
wrong with the 68000 :->.
