Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [random] Poisson generator
From: Neal Becker (ndbecker2_at_[hidden])

The current poisson generator is (unless it's been changed recently) less
than optimal. It uses a sum of bernoulli trials, which is very inefficient
for large values of lambda. Maybe that's why it's not advertised?
