And yet you applied the transitive property with poor assumptions and in a convoluted way to come up with an incorrect conclusion. > It's that the flat assertion that "CityHash/SpookyHash/etc is always faster" > is _unwarranted_, as hardware acceleration _has a huge effect_. Actually, the assertion is true and backed up by evidence that I cited. I'm not sure why you think hardware acceleration only helps SHA-1 and does not help CityHash or SpookyHash. -- 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
