And the only architectures that currently have any md5 assembly is x86 and x86_64. On my x86_64 laptop, I see a rather modest performance gain of about 6% over the C version. I don't expect anyone willing to work on improved md5 performance, on x86_64 or on additional platforms. Somewhat related, I'm not aware of any special instructions for improved md5 performance on any architecture (to be compared to the sha1 and sha256 instructions currently used on x86_64, arm64 and s390x)?
