SHA-3 has been in use in SQLite and in Euthereum for a while, 
which are enormous projects. SHA-1 is on life support with sha1cd 
and SHA-2 faces length extension attacks (even with SHA-2-256 and 
SHA-2-512 but not SHA-2-512/256).

 From memory, I remember getting ~10MiB/s when I first implemented 
keccak-tiny from C to D. When I rewrote the package to my liking, 
and I got ~130MiB/s. But these tests were in a VM on my i7-3770 
so it's not really a conclusive thing.

I could do a benchmark again.
