John,
I just noticed the above line in your OP. Are you
trying to do dithering to smooth out gradient steps?
If so, I believe that there are better ways to do this
than recomputing the random function each time.
Using a PRNG (pseudo-random number generator)
to do this is often an easy way to find correlations
in the generated random number sequence, which
is usually what you do *not* want when doing image
dithering.
