[Nix-dev] faster printHash32

[Yury G. Kudryashov]

Hi!

Current printHash32 implementation does some long arithmetic, thus it is 
*very* slow. The attached patch makes printHash32 10 times faster on my 
laptop.

I attach a patch that makes parseHash32 3 times faster but the new version 
does not check if there any trailing non-zero bits in the input yet. I'm 
going to change it in a few days (have no time today).

BTW, my printHash32 is 3 times faster than my parseHash32. Any ideas why?
