I've currently switched from IgorWare Hasher to RapidCRC Unicode, and the speed difference is night and day; RapidCRC Unicode can calculate an MD5 hash in 23 seconds for a 5GB ISO file:
So far, I've found FastSum comes close in second place at 28 seconds for the same file:
But are there even faster MD5 hasher apps available? (Maybe some with GPU acceleration?)
All tests are done from an 8GB 2,200 MB/s DDR3 RAMdisk, so disk i/o shouldn't be a bottleneck.
