This is the only MD4 versus MD5 comparison, but it makes me question the
consistency of the results. MD5 is supposedly _slower_ by design than
MD4 -- how did it speed up? -O2 alone?

Need to get these estimates verified. Would like to see as large a
range of machines as MD5 above.
Even so, it is now clear that either will produce satisfactory results
for interactive keying. Nobody is even going to notice the telnet
latency on startup. The usual telnet option negotiation will dominate.
