Tiger Hash Algorithm: How to speed up?

[Arokh]

Hi,

 

I've been trying to speed up the calculation of the Tiger hash.

 

Though its said that it is a fast hash function beating sha-1,

but I can't get anywhere near the sha-1 speed.

 

While sha-1 is limited by my HDD speed at about ~120mb/s,

the Tiger hash is limited by my cpu and the speed drops down to ~42mb/s.

 

I've attached the current version for the Tiger hash algorithm I'm using,

or view it here

 

Going by this site the Tiger hash should be considerately faster.

I know those hashes are highly optimized, but isn't there a way to get more speed in my code in C#?
