Speaking personally SHA-1 because it is so universal then AES.

I understand.

The GNU 'as' bug triggered by my code has been fixed
This time, here is an article about optimizing MD5 for AMD64. Code is
provided, it has been designed to be easily integrated into OpenSSL:
http://epita.fr/~bevand_m/papers/md5-amd64.html
On an Opteron 244, the code is 65% faster than the current (C language)
implementation of OpenSSL.
As it's no
