This version contains hardware acceleration for CRC on architectures supporting SSE 4.2. As a result, synchronization and block validation are now faster. -- SHA256 hashing has been optimized for architectures supporting SSE 4 (See [PR 10182](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10182)). SHA256 is around +- SHA256 hashing has been optimized for architectures supporting SSE 4 (See [PR 10821](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10821)). SHA256 is around 50% faster on supported hardware, which results in around 5% faster IBD and block validation. In version 0.15, SHA256 hardware optimization is disabled in release builds by default, but can be enabled by using `--enable-experimental-asm` when building.
