Is SHA1 not still faster than 256/512? And Blake2 barely faster? I suspect with some hardware SHA1 is still going to beat all of those out - am I wrong? I would love to learn more.

Regardless, no competent designer is going to use SHA1.

Thank you, that's an excellent chart.

It's not about the speed, it's about the 'is it secure.'

If my amazing hash function takes 10^10^10 years to compute, it's possibly more secure than anything else listed there, but it's also quite useless.

CRC is faster than SHA1
