   ------------------------------
-  Look into improving the performance of md5sum.
-  `openssl md5' is consistently about 30% faster than md5sum on an idle
-  AMD 2000-XP system with plenty of RAM and a 261 MB input file.
-  openssl's md5 implementation is in assembly, generated by a perl script.
-
-  On an AMD-64 system, using a 700MB file on a tmpfs file system
-  (and enough RAM so that no actual disk reads were performed),
-  GNU md5sum is slightly faster than `openssl md5', e.g.:
-
-    2.38s user 0.38s system 100% cpu 2.756 total  (gnu md5sum)
-    vs.
-    2.52s user 0.34s system 100% cpu 2.869 total
-
-  However, `openssl sha1' is about 5% faster than GNU sha1sum:
-
-    3.32s user 0.33s system 99% cpu 3.653 total   (openssl sha1)
-    3.45s user 0.39s system 99% cpu 3.843 total   (gnu sha1sum)
-
-  The above are using the debian-sid (amd_64 alioth) binaries from
-  coreutils-5.2.1.  When I compile the latest (coreutils-cvs) with
-  gcc-4.0 -O3, I get slightly (2-3%) better sha1sum performance,
-  and a ~7% *decrease* in performance for md5sum.  I suspect that
-  with the right compiler options you can do much better.
