Note that we now have two WASM files embedded for SIMD-enabled algos. Personally I think the WASM files should be loaded dynamically, but that is an api change and is more prone to errors unless you set it up properly. I won't dictate that for this project, it's out of scope of this PR. |

I've implemented SIMD for BLAKE-3 and SHA-256. You will see modest gains with SHA-256, but massive gains with BLAKE-3.
Note that MAX_HEAP was increased from 16 to 64kb. This was needed to take advantage of BLAKE-3 SIMD. Otherwise you will only get a slight speedup.
You can try it out by replacing
hash-wasmwith@ult/hash-wasmor trying my benchmark tool (source).
