Slow Graph Generation

[John Bafford]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to GnuCash 1.6.1, and except for one problem, 
it's a nice improvment on 1.4.x.

Whenever I have it generate graphs, it always takes at least a 
minute. Neither gnucash or any of the processes it spawns to draw the 
charts are using much CPU time; an strace shows that gnucash opens 
/dev/random, reads four bytes, closes it, and then does time(), 
getpid(), getppid(), and time() again, until it eventually draws the 
graph. The other processes are usually either doing a wait() or a 
pause().

Is this a known bug, or is there something bad about my setup that I can fix?

Thanks,

-John
