Noted, will add that. Last time I tried https://github.com/Daninet/hash-wasm edit: I focus on browsers, that's wasm but not for browser envs. ---- https://theultdev.github.io/web-sha256-benchmark https://github.com/TheUltDev/web-sha256-benchmark seems it is chrome wasm that is slow. asmjs is about the same speed in chrome and firefox (with asm optimizations still enabled) but wasm is slow as hell in chrome, asm still better. side note: someone mentioned native crypto.subtle, but that doesn't have incremental hashing so can't use it for large files. however I do use it in practice for smaller files.
