Previously CRC-32 was calculated using bitwise operations (bit-by-bit). This PR implements more efficient algorithm for CRC-32 using slice-by-8 algorithm. The performance gain depends on the length of an input data. For example, with 40 bytes of input data we observed about 35% reduction of CPU cycles per packet.
