You might want to flesh out your node with some more information. I don't know what you consider a "vast amount of time", but running a typical md5 program (md5sum) on my laptop took just under 52 seconds for a 292MB file. But I can't tell if it's faster than the program you're using or not...
Since you're on a perl site, I'm assuming that you're computing the hash with a perl program, perhaps using something from CPAN. If you provide a bit more information, perhaps we can be a bit more help.
