Cool. I recently wrote a low-level sha1 implementation in pure javascript, trying to leverage asm.js (http://github.com/srijs/rusha).

Can you tell me, how did you confirm you wrote valid asm.js and there was no fallback-mechanism kicking in?

I benchmarked my implementation, of course, and noticed a 2x speedup. However, this seems quite less for the this type of low-level algorithm...
