I've just gone through the main cores and implemented them for the
Spartan-6 device on the Novena. The Maxf you can get from them are:

ChaCha: 67 MHz
SHA-1: 100 MHz
SHA-256: 70 MHz
SHA-512: 57 MHz

This is a best case that allows ISE to do best effort implementation of
the core. This means that these cores will not be able to meet timing
when driven by a clock running at higher clock frequency. In fact, on
the Novena with a lot of pin constraints and other blocks fight
