I am usually not in favour of adding new files for small utilities. Could it
go somewhere else?

Maybe drop the marketing parts "extremely fast"?

Otherwise, it looks good to me.

I don't like it either, but there's no existing module that makes
sense.  Can anyone think of one?  It this tool created cryptographic
hashes then I would have put it in crypto.scm.

Like the two packages in boost.scm, it looks like something to go into
"data structures and algorithms", but this does not make for a nice module
name... "datastructures.scm" could be one, but I am not really convinced
by it either.
