Context: #1099 (comment). Using xxHash instead of SHA1 is roughly a 6x speedup (hashing time goes from 25ms to 6ms on the main benchmark).
Note that I have also recently changed the hash to be computed in parallel so as to not slow down builds that don't need hashes. So this PR will no longer impact the main benchmark. But switching to xxHash is still relevant for scenarios where the hash is needed (mainly when code splitting is enabled) so this is still a useful change.
