You have your point here, but when it comes to generating random numbers between 1 and 12 and use thousands
of such numbers... the test is ok. I didn't want to determine the precise performance gain of one solution over the other.
I only wanted to get an approximation.

Besides that, DF used random numbers, so, I had to use the same method.
