This still is subject to evaluation.

SHA3 is on my list of other candidates to look at for a performance
evaluation. As for BLAKE2 I haven't done too much research on it and I'm not a
cryptographer so I have to trust FIPS et al.

One other (non chrypto) hash that is often mentioned would be XXHash which is
in the kernel but not yet wired up to the kernel's crypto framework, but this
shouldn't be too hard to do.

Byte,
