As I said: I would accept patches. If you arrange for a separate _hashlib.pyd file, most of my concerns would go away. So please do produce a patch, so we have something to review. > Widely deployed popular applications use python for both large scale > hashing and ssl communications. Yet, nobody has worried about performance in all these years to notice that the assembler code isn't being used. So it can't be that bad. For SSL specifically, the usage of hashing is minimal, as the actual communication uses symmetric encryption.
