Hi,
I have recently read [Phoronix article](https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-BLAKE3-Shader-Hashing) about you switching to BLAKE3 instead of SHA1.
If BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function wouldn't it be faster to use a non cryptographic hash function or even a checksum function? Do you need the benefits of cryptographic hash functions over other hash/checksum functions for the purpose of uniquely identifing Vulkan shaders?
