Hello, Improving the speed of Crypto was something I was planning on working on the future, so I'd be more than happy to take you up on your challenge! I wouldn't be able to start any time in the next two weeks, though, because of work related to next release of Happstack/Happstack Tutorial.
As far as the Hackathon, I'm considering going but at the moment money is a constraint & I need to figure out the budgeting.
