You can make convoluted, incorrect claims all you like, but the fact is that SHA-1 is not as fast as Spooky2 or CityHash128 on x64 Intel CPUs, and Murmur3 is faster on ARM systems. And it is not even close. Your claims are absurd. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
