That's 2,898,515 hash-against-hash calculations in 2.01 seconds (5.19 billion calculations per hour).

Now that's workable
If my calculations are correct, at that speed you can compare ~ 6500 images/day with a database of 1 million pics (hashes), and if using thumbnails only that goes up to ~ 65 000 images/day - more than enough to keep ALL boards and torrents under control image piracy wise.
