title: Fastest Hash Algorithm for Text Data
body: <p>I'm trying to choose a hash algorithm for comparing about max 20 different text data. </p>
  
  <p>Which hash is better for these requirements?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Less CPU Consumption</li>
  <li>Small footprint (&lt;=32 bytes)</li>
  <li>Collision is not a big deal</li>
  <li>Can be generated from .NET Framework 2 (shouldn't be a 3rd party library)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em>I'm using hash for less memory footprint and comparison performance</em></p>
