SOAP+SSL Slowness

Does anyone have a solution to help speed up the client side random seed generation for ssl based connections?  There seems to be a 5-10 second delay (depending on the platform) in the SecureRandom class.  I've modified the Security propery of "securerandom.source" to a static file which increased the connection time in half (but includes no randomness), but was looking for an alternative to replace just the SecureRandom class in the jdk crypto classes without having to create a full blown custom Provider.
 
I'm looking into creating a custom native provider to perform the seed generation, but would rather use another approach if that is possible.
 
I've seen other postings regarding ssl connectivity issues, but none concerning the initial random number generation slowness.  I'm sure others are experiencing this and would appreciate any insights others could provide.
 
Thanks in advance...
 
-Joe
