Hi,

I was wondering why the binomial distribution still isn't optimized  
for speed. If I look into the GSL as a comparison, they use much  
smarter and faster algorithms. As is, the bosst::random distributions  
are not usable for computational purposes to me, which is a pity since  
I very much like the approach using variate_generators and stuff...

I would be happy to contribute some faster code, but I don't know how  
exactly I should proceed for that... should I contact the maintainer  
directly?
