A good example is for a bloom filter: using sha256 is much too slow for good filter performance, you want something like siphash or some other non-cryptographic hash.
I think xxHash was/is the fastest good non-crypto hash, and now SeaHash may be best. Although I'd like to see a bit more data on that (small keys? large keys? benchmarking methodology) than SeaHash's author is providing.
Here's a good story of the performance benefits of switching from cryptographic to non-crypto hashes: https://github.com/bitly/dablooms/pull/19
(But I don't recommend you use murmur anymore: https://emboss.github.io/blog/2012/12/14/breaking-murmur-has... (although tbh I could be wrong on this one, not an expert))
