Just to clarify, Jacksum is written in Java, so it depends on Java. It won't run without the JVM present and the package dependencies specify that.

If performance is critical, I would suggest that you use alternatives such as md5sum and shaXsum as they don't depend on the VM and have much less runtime overhead, and you may be able to eke out some performance.
