That'd make SHA256RNDS2 even faster because of the throughput numbers.

I'm curious, what's the faster algorithm for hashing you use? I don't want to waste time on intrinsics and inflict complexity on my colleagues if there are alternatives I can use!

I’ll just use xxHash family, murmur hash family or even FNV. For crypto, BLAKE2 is a cryptographic hash that’s faster than SHA,MD5, etc and is at least as secure as the SHA-3.
