Not bad, if there were not some item! :)

Hm... 'some paragraph' has the edge OMM - although my test differs from
yours somewhat.
I used 1000 items, characters, words, paragraphs, etc and repeated 1000
times to get these two sets of results from Smile's chrono on a G4 400.
random number: 0.2048569, 0.2265079000001
some item: 1.034765, 1.041271
some character: 0.033748, 0.033304999999
some word: 30.082584, 30.110024
some paragraph: 0.212169, 0.212347000001
Paragraph is a strong performer but it is slower than random number here
and they are both left in the dust by character.
