FWIW - FreeBSD and Linux results using Tom's test program on almost
identical hardware[1]:
Std crc Slice-8 crc
Intel P-III 1.26Ghz (FreeBSD 6.2)
8192 bytes 12.975314 14.503810
1024 bytes 1.633557 1.852322
64 bytes 0.111580 0.206975
Intel P-III 1.26Ghz (Gentoo 2006.1)
8192 bytes 12.967997 28.363876
1024 bytes 1.632317 3.626230
64 bytes 0.111513 0.326557
Interesting that the slice-8 algorithm seems to work noticeably better
on FreeBSD than Linux - but still not as well as the standard one (for
these tests anyway)...
