When was the last time a new PRNG helped you clearly identify a performance bottleneck?

As in, you were using state of the art generator X, and you couldn't see the performance bottleneck, but updating to a newer (faster, or same speed but higher quality) generator Y, and could subsequently identify the performance bottleneck?

If you're using PCG, not in the last 12 years.

(In a parallel comment I suggest trying AES-CTR for this use case)
