I've replaced our keccak implementation with the official Go version, which gained about 45% increase on the benchmarks on my Core2 laptop. To keep the code a bit cleaner, I've copied the official go keccac file (https://github.com/golang/crypto/blob/master/sha3/keccakf.go) as is into our own repo, and called that function directly from our sha3 instead of the previous
d.keccak
wrapper (i.e. to keep the keccak go file updatable to new versions if need be).
