[sldev] Optimizing load time.

[Zack Geers]

I noticed the same thing myself,
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-102 switches
to a "better" implmentation of MD5, but needs to be profiled to verify it's
faster on all systems, but it should be.  I switched it to using the MD5
code suggested in the MD5 RFC.  I noticed about a 60% speed improvement.  I
don't think that it's very critical, but a good load time always makes an
application look nice and this will shave off a fraction of a second off.
