15 ms isn't that slow.
It's a lot quicker than the time you'd spend trying to convince Badspot to add it.

You're right about that, but still, this will be used for security reasons, and sending it to a server to encrypt it isn't that secure. Neither less if the script is public and everyone knows the address to the server.

What exactly are you making? The CRC checks would still provide a good alternative in most cases.

What are you trying to secure data from? There are two things you're trying to prevent:
1) A man-in-the-middle password catcher (anyone who can pull this off is going to screw you over in the end anyway)
2) Stopping other add-ons from intercepting the raw password (they can anyway using packages by pulling it out of the gui or just before it reaches the md5 function)
There is no point in encrypting data for add-ons in Blockland.
