I have no doubt that Visual Studio Team Services, GitHub and Atlassian
will eventually end up with FPGAs for hash computation. So that's
that.

I actually doubt this from the GitHub side. Hash performance is not even
on our radar as a bottleneck. In most cases the problem is touching
uncompressed data _at all_, not computing the hash over it (so things
like reusing on-disk deltas are really important).

Thanks for pointing that out! As a mainly client-side person, I rarely get
insights into the server side...

Ciao,
