  1. Use MD4 instead of SHA1 for filename hashes 

    We don't need the cryptographic strength of SHA-1 for this purpose, so
we may as well use a faster hashing algorithm.

While I was at it, I also sapped out the use of hash.end + hash.read
combo for the faster and more conventional hash.update + hash.digest. In
my local testing, this also seems to offer a nice speed boost.
