NuGet Product(s) Affected

MSBuild.exe, dotnet.exe

Originally filed by the VS Perf team. The ProjectModel.HashObjectWriter currently uses a SHA512 hash algorithm and we're wondering if a faster hash algorithm would still work and speed things up.

Desired Behavior

A faster hashing algorithm that still yields the same outcome.
