ComputeHash on large stream

[semedao]

Hi,
I saw that when I use ComputeHash on large file stream
the ComputeHash method don't read all the stream first and than hash it , it's read it in chunks (memory performance?)
How can I know the chunk size in each read ?
and how can I control it?
If I will change the chunk - it's can change the ComputeHash result ?
thanks

The results shouldn't change - why are you particularly bothered about
the chunk size? Why do you want to control it?
