  • In Go 1.21 the crypto/sha256 got a massive improvement by utilizing the SHA instructions for AMD64 CPUs, which sha256-simd already was doing. The performance is now on par and I think it's preferable to use the standard library rather than a package when possible.

But that's only for amd64? I think nowadays, arm64 is also important. Maybe we can wait or have a compile tag.

  1. it doesn't really "drop", the minio package still uses it.
  2. according to Go document: SHA-224 and SHA-256 operations now use native instructions when available when GOARCH=amd64, the Go package doesn't have arm64 support, while minio/sha256-simd has.

blocked as it's a regression for arm64.
