Node.js fastest hash function

fastest_hash.js

const crypto = require('crypto');
console.time('hash')
const hash = crypto.createHash('md5').update(str).digest("hex");
console.timeEnd('hash')
console.log(hash)

// sha1 function is 4-5x times faster on my computer than md5
console.time('hash2')
const hash2 = crypto.createHash('sha1').update(str).digest("base64");
console.timeEnd('hash2')
console.log(hash2)

// sha256 function is 2-3x times faster on my computer than sha1
console.time('hash3')
const hash3 = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(str).digest("base64");
console.timeEnd('hash3')
console.log(hash3)
