I found it to be about 15% faster than SHA-1, and that on a big endian
machine.  That number makes sense given the structure of the two
algorithms.  So, somewhat better, yes.  "Far better", no.

In hardware implementations, the two tend to be pretty close, and
usually faster than the encryption transform so it doesn't matter
which you chose as far as performance goes.
