Comment (by dd32):

 Noting it here, although it doesn't apply specifically to this case, in
 PHP 5.3.4 and earlier on Windows it's a known issue that
 `openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()` may block for a significant amount of
 time.

 On later versions it's also known for being slow when running under CGI.
