Meanwhile, I've borrowed some Intel's code (BSD licensed) for CRC32 sw
algorithm, it runs 4 times faster sacrificing memory (2K) for additional
lookup tables. I'd like to include it as well. As for test_hash_perf,
I'll look at it.
Should I just send new series over as 'v3'? Any approval/disapproval for
the current series?
