the MD5 and SHA-1 modules should use the OpenSSL
library to perform the hashing when it is available
(always these days; python ships with basic ssl socket
support using openssl).  

OpenSSL includes and keeps up with highly optimized
versions of the hash algorithms for various
architectures.  They should always perform the same or
better than the python shamodule and md5module
implementations.
