Operates at speeds close to the RAM limits (GB/s). It is often used for real-time checksums, hash tables, and big data processing.
Designed to be computationally expensive and resistant to intentional manipulation. It produces a 128-bit hash. xxhash vs md5
Significantly slower because its design requires complex logical operations intended to prevent "pre-image" attacks. Even with hardware acceleration, it cannot keep pace with xxHash. 2. Security and Collisions Operates at speeds close to the RAM limits (GB/s)
