If hash computation in Javascript is a crucial bottleneck, there are better choices than SHA1-- like BLAKE2s, which is designed to be fast on 32-bit platforms.

If collisions aren't a huge concern, something like SipHash is also possible.

How does Blake2 compare to SHA256 in terms of uniqueness and hashing speed?
