For what it's worth, here are my numbers from running git-fsck on my
x86-64 machine.  It appears that BLK-SHA1 is slightly faster.  If you
know a better benchmark to run, let me know.  Perhaps it would be good
to write some sort of suite to test this, and let people post their
results to some website.

make git-fsck

./git-fsck  66.70s user 1.28s system 99% cpu 1:08.06 total
./git-fsck  66.77s user 0.63s system 99% cpu 1:07.42 total

make BLK_SHA1=1 git-fsck
./git-fsck  65.60s user 0.65s system 99% cpu 1:06.26 total
./git-fsck  65.39s user 0.65s system 99% cpu 1:06.06 total
