I prefer FSUM from SlavaSoft. Also a CL app, it does MD5 checksums
quickly. However, FSUM is not restricted to MD5 checksumming only.

"calculates file checksum using any of the 12 well-known and
documented hash and checksum algorithms: MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2
(256, 384, 512), RIPEMD-160, PANAMA, TIGER, ADLER32, CRC32;"

And more.

20 seconds. So your cpu is bigger than mine .... you have to
compare same file on the same machine :)
