No to all.

Subsequent to Heikki's change (already in master) to use the CRC-32C
algorithm (instead of the earlier mistakenly-reflected-but-not-quite
one), both the slice-by-8 software implementation posted earlier and
the SSE4.2 CRC32* instructions will compute exactly the same value.

(Yes, I have verified this in both cases.)
