Want to know whether the seed value on `function_score.random_score` got cache?

I'm implementing the so-called : _consistently random scoring_:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/random-scoring.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/random-scoring.html),

With the amount of requests in a typical homepage,  
It would be better If I round the seeding value to something like 1 seconds,  
instead of millisecond and having elastic cache that seed value.
