If you Run this code on a Ultra 1, you will see that it takes over 5 seconds.
This code is used in generating a random in case of JSSE, so it appears that
this one of the reasons why its is slow.

Could you consider a native implementation of SecureRandom function with JDK
so speed up?

    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        int index;
        SecureRandom s = new SecureRandom();
        long t = System.currentTimeMillis();

        for (index = 0; index < 5; index++) {
            byte[] seed = s.generateSeed(20);
        }
        System.out.println ("Time per invocation = " + ((System.currentTimeMill
is() - t)/5) + " milliseconds.");
    }
}
