GnuPG 1.1.90 released ('diskperf -y' )

[Leigh S. Jones, KR6X]

Keith -- I had come to regard this message as the real thing.  My
understanding was that statistics generated by 'diskperf -y' were
used in the random number generator to add entropy.  So with
the knowledge that 'diskperf -y' would slow my disk operations
(though perhaps imperceptibly) I've always enabled diskperf.

I'm not requesting specifics, but I'd regard this as a bug only if
'diskperf -y' has no positive effect on random number generation.
Is this your understanding?
