md5sumsum

This repo contains a dumb script md5sumsum which compute the md5sum of the concatenation of all md5sum of all files of a folder hierarchy with paths sorted in alphabetical order.

This script is useless (you would for sure prefer do that with tar and have in bonus the file metadata) and have no other purpose than to be an exercise to learn what commonly makes a software slow and how to speed up it.

That's why we have here an automated test suite (thanks to Travis CI) that measures the speed of execution of submitted PRs!
