MD5deep benchmarking x86_64

I currently only have md5deep installed on my own fedora workstation, so I could test if I could get it working. Now that I did get it to work I can benchmark it for my laptop. When I get this to work I will do the same on betty.

My fedora specifications are:
Memory: 2.9 GiB
Processor: Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz
Machine architecture: x86_64

To benchmark this program I need a few files of different sizes. With the following command I can create a file with complete random data and a size of approximately 100mb.

dd if=/dev/random of=test100m bs=1M count=100 iflag=fullblock

After running this command for different file sizes, I ended up with a 105mb testfile and a 10.5mb file.
By running the following command you can run the md5deep program and see how long it took to complete.

time md5deep test100m

To get a presentabele benchmark you have to run this command a lot of times and get the average. Instead of manually running this command 100 times I wrote the following command which would do it for me:

time for i in {1..100}; do md5deep test100m; done

The time you get for this is the total time of running it 100 times, so the time result you get has to be divided by 100 to get the average time of running once. I got the following results:

10.5 mb file
real: 0m0.053s
user: 0m0.021s
sys: 0m0.003s

105 mb file
real: 0m0.287s
user: 0m0.200s
sys: 0m0.012s

After seeing that these files still get hashed pretty quickly I decided to download a bigger file to see how long that would take. I downloaded the Fedora Workstation iso, which is 1.5gb, to test with.

1.5gb file
real: 0m3.458s
user: 0m2.793s
sys: 0m0.184s

It still doesn't take very long for a 1.5gb file to be hashed, so this program is pretty fast.
