Random(G) or PseudoRandom(G)

PseudoRandom is much faster if you have a huge number of moved points in
a permutation group or a big matrix group. I don't really know what the
limits of the regular Random function are, but it takes a very long time
to find a Random element of the Lyons group in its 111-dimensional
representation over F5.
