When I do this:

20.000 times in one transformation, it takes around 120 seconds on my
computer, but all the "seeds" are the same!

There are probably a good explanation...

Probably my answer was not clear enough:  you only use current-time()
once as a seed to generate a sequence of N (N = 100 in my answer)
random seeds. Then use each of these in order as a seed for the (next)
shuffle.

Is there any way a can produce seeds on the run fast enough, or do I
really have to take a day of making a long list of seeds I can pick
from randomly (!) in order to feed the process?
