No difference in speed.
Note that there is about a 20% slowdown when we run the same benchmark
as an i386 binary compiled with GCC 3.2.3 from 2002. SipHash is
incredibly fast on a modern 64-bit processor because it can run its core
algorithm using only four 64-bit registers. I would suspect that there
would be less slowdown on a 32-bit ARM or other RISC architecture
because they do not have the register starvation i386 has.
