I thought that that was unlikely, and I was about to post a response saying so... But then I checked my Pro Pioneer's available entropy and discovered that it was REALLY low -- single digits or low double digits -- and I took those measurements while I was logged in and right after I'd performed some filesystem commands that should have produced a large increase in available entropy.
Maybe there's something on my system that is voraciously consuming entropy; I'll have to investigate further. But I guess it is possible that an additional entropy source like havege could be helpful.
