I don't think there are any low entropy systems.
You don't need entropy in a hurry unless you are on the network. If on
the network, attacker cannot know everything about ever packet unless he
has physical access. Hard drive generates a lot of entropy, timing skew
generates a lot of entropy, and any physical sensor, such as camera or
microphone, generates lots of entropy.
