Add crypto hash functions for use by web pages, like SHA256. Computing these things in JS is not so fast...

Reproducible: Always
JS is pretty fast these days, and on crypto-like code with integer computation SpiderMonkey tends to do very well.  I wouldn't be so sure JS is unbearably slow without actually testing and seeing fundamental slowness.

In any case, however, this isn't a JS bug but rather a DOM bug.

Thanks for moving to the DOM category. When doing AES/HMAC, SHA1 is the slowest part.
