Major things

• new checksum xxhash. It is much faster than sha1 (which is still the default). use -checksum xxh128 to get the new checksum. Note that it is not a cryptographic checksum, but hey it's an order of magnitude faster!
• increased buffer size when calculating the checksum, and it can be controlled from the command line via -buffersize N

The important parts of this release have been co-authored with @trollkarlen who did a majority of the work. Thanks!
