Yep. I mentioned that coreutils/TODO wrt md5sum: Look into improving the performance of md5sum. `openssl md5' is consistently about 30% faster than md5sum on an idle AMD 2000-XP system with plenty of RAM and a 261 MB input file. openssl's md5 implementation is in assembly, generated by a perl script. I suspect their sha1 code is similar. I'd welcome patches to improve the performance of either. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
