Hello!
In my work I often have to hash files, and sometimes I have to hash A LOT of files. I recently put together a cmdlet to concurrently hash files that should speed this up. I performed some benchmark testing (because of an unrelated project) on concurrent hashing with 1000 files that made up 1 GB of data and found that concurrently hashing did reduce processing time considerably at 8 files at once. Beyond this I saw dwindling returns.
I'm not well versed in using GitHub, but I wanted to share that adding concurrent hashing to PowerShell would be something I think a number of people would find helpful. I think my approach would work on most Windows machines. I've shared my cmdlet in a repo, and I thought I'd share here in case it might be useful to anyone else.
