Subject: Re: minor optimisation in raw-sha1-ng
I had read the slides, but it hadn't occurred to me that the same
trick might apply to W[4..11], which are always fixed in raw-sha1-ng.
I'll think about it tonight, if that works I'll definitely implement
it. Thanks for the hint!
He doesn't mention it in the slides, but I guess if the first word is
fixed you only have to compute 74 rounds in the common case, because
you can precompute the R1 state (along with early exit at R75), that
must be another 1% :-)
Tavis.
