Hello,
When I run this one-line script on my droplet:
<?php
echo base64_encode( mcrypt_create_iv( 32 ) );
?>
it takes more than 10 minutes to finish. Which is weird since on other servers, it give a response instantly.
Any idea how I can make it run fast?
Thanks,

I found the answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11173803/mcrypt-dev-random-freezes-but-mcrypt-dev-urandom-works
I just ran that on my droplet, and it took less than 1 second. Just a regular php install.
