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

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.

I am using the C version of Blake3 after I decided some time ago to rewrite a prototype application from Rust to C and this is indeed very interesting for me. Some uses of this application would benefit from O_DIRECT in the way described in the article.

I'm going to try this out this weekend.
