FPGAs are too slow (and too expensive), if you want lots of SHA-1 performance,
use a crypto processor (or lots of forthcoming C5J mini-ITX boards), or an
ASIC.
Assuming, fast SHA-1 computation is the basis for the attack -- we do not
know that.
While looking, came across

"We really DO NOT need SHA-256 for Message Authentication", mid-2002.
