Note that performance is strongly dependent on message size. My Cuckoo Cycle proof of work hashes roughly a billion 8-byte messages with the 'cryptographically strong' SipHash in 4 seconds, for a single-core speed of 2000MB/s, while HighwayHash on longer 16-byte messages slows down to only 200MB/s (no figure provided for 8-byte messages).
