If we use 2 seeds, could we XOR "^" the seeds after modifiing the seeds, instead of "+" or "*"? to make it faster?

rand can be optimized to and will be mono safe as...

integer rand(integer spread) {
    	seed2 = (seed2 * seed2Mod + 0xB);
	return (seed1Mod = ((seed1 = (seed1 * (seed2Mod = seed1Mod) + 0xB)) * seed2)) % spread;
}
