b3sum: Fastest possible file read using io_uring, faster than cat to /dev/null

  • > Fastest

    Should be "Fastest on my machine" (where file hashing is IO-bound rather than CPU-bound)

    > faster than cat to /dev/null

    Should be "slightly faster than cat to /dev/null"

    Not sure whether to include the "25% faster than the official Rust implementation" part in the title...not really sure what people are interested in. I thought it was more interesting that it was faster than cat to /dev/null.

    Anyway, seems like nobody is really interested in this.
