+git-annex simply uses
+[cryptonite](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cryptonite) for hashing.
+Which is a thin wrapper around C code, and contains optimised routines for
+some processors, generally copied from the reference C implementations.
+
+The block size is 32 kb. This can be changed in Utility/Metered.hs
+in defaultChunkSize.
