sscanf consumes the entire string and is much slower than strtoul when reading the block size at the prefix of digest strings. This is the dominant cost of digest comparisons with incomparable block sizes (~ 80% slower than using strtoul), but is still a significant contribution (> 15%) of full digest comparisons.
