Sign upAdd BLAKE2b hash in the benchmarks #243

Hi @Agagamand , Sure, I can and will certainly add Blake2b to the benchmark list. Just be aware that, Blake2 being branded as offering cryptographic qualities, it's not in the same league, for both cryptography and speed. Blake2's speed is great in comparison with other cryptographic hashes . But when compared with non-cryptographic hashes, it will seem quite slow. |

The results are in for Blake2. For "large" inputs, the speed is almost on par with FNV, which is already plotted (and is not excellent). I'll see later if I can usefully plot Blake2 on the same graph as other algorithms. |
BLAKE2 is a cryptographic hash function faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, yet is at least as secure as the latest standard SHA-3. BLAKE2 has been adopted by many projects due to its high speed, security, and simplicity.
