But you're not going to take it all the way. So it unfortunately amounts to mailing list armchair optimization. That's too bad because it really seems like you might be onto something worth seeing through. As I've mentioned a few times now, I've dropped the blake2s optimization patch, and I won't be developing that further. But it appears as though you've really been captured by it, so I urge you: please send a real patch with benchmarks on various platforms! (And CC me on the patch.) Faster reference code would really be terrific. Jason
