I can believe that many systems would find software based SHA-1 (or MD5!) significantly
faster than software-based 3DES.
I suspect that there is a "genetic memory" of this fact, which has persisted
as "hashes faster than encryption"

I believe that there are people who have decided to implement SHA-2, and have
decided not to implement AES.  Perhaps there are compelling code space
reasons for this, but I don't find the performance/latency reasons compelling.

But, we agree that blackbox auditability *is* compelling, and therefore the
draft should go forward.
