greatly differing processing time between java and Linux while calculating hashes?

Q

qwertmonkey

Roedy, I did play with the size of the input block used for the input stream
and the files lenghts themselves and the results where the same, so 3 doesn't
seem to be the case.

There must be something causing it, of course! but to me a difference
of 25% (and the diff of more than 50% of the flip!) is way too much. Especially
if it is an algorithm that MUST have been optimized (many libraries use them),
besides those checksums algos, all they do is crunching data and they were
developed and maintained by the same coders

I think we could use some URLs here ...

as I said:
~
youtube.com/watch?v=DQfUaXLk_sw
~
youtube.com/watch?v=0buBJlPo9us
~
you can go:
~
youtube-dl --no-overwrites --continue --no-progress --console-title
--audio-format best --max-quality mp4 ""
~
and here you have your cake ;-)

Roedy, I did play with the size of the input block used for the input stream
and the files lenghts themselves and the results where the same, so 3 doesn't
seem to be the case.

you want to make sure the size of the byte / char array given to the
digest calculator is big so that you have the overhead of the call as
infrequently as possible. You might want to do a trace to be sure you
are changing that, not just some other buffering.
