The finding that nothing is opening and using /dev/random rules out the explanation the author of the app gave. It does not in any way prove that the app has no effect, even if it might be for totally different reasons.

Several people appear to be looking at ways of doing some proper tests to determine if there is a real measurable effect, so we'll presumably find out soon enough.
