How is Mother-of-all compared to ran2?

Dear Agner,

Sorry if my question has already been answered.
I would like to know how Mother-of-all is compared to ran2 by the Numerical Recipes team, in terms of 1) cycle length, 2) randomness and 3) speed (more important). It seems that you have better cycle?

I am doing simulation with Langevin dynamics and Monte Carlo. I've been using ran2 for all the time. In my simulation, I've optimized every possible piece of code and now it spends more than one half of simulation time just creating random numbers. Now I need something better than ran2 (speed and cycle length). It seems that your generator will satisfy me.

Thank you very much.
