Plus the benchmark was bogus anyway, and when I built a more specific harness -- actually comparing the TCP sequence number functions -- SipHash was faster than MD5, even on register starved x86. So I think we're fine and this chapter of the discussion can come to a close, in order to move on to more interesting things.
