Actually, I said "Sure" here, but this isn't strictly true. At some point,
you're more memory-bound than CPU-bound, and with CPU intrinsic instructions
(like SPARC and recent x86 have for SHA) you're often past that. Then,
you're not going to see any real difference - and the accelerated
cryptographic hashes may even win out, because the intrinsics may be faster
(less stuff of the I$, pipelined single instruction beating multiple simpler
instructions, etc) than the software non-cryptographic hash.
