+Thanks a lot for the optimization - the current code has some problems
+(memory sucking being only one). As for the unit tests the patch get
+tested as one of the official NIST SHA-1 tests involves hashing 1 000
+000 bytes 'A'.
+
+However I modified the patch so 
+(a) it always use the second part (4096 bytes buffer). This way it
+doesn't need to use Stream.Length and Stream.Position (which aren't
+available in all streams as I've learned with the CryptoStream class).
+(b) it keeps a copy of the hash result into its HashValue member (like
+the other ComputeHash method epilog). Not doing so will make some
+tests fails in descendant classes (like HMACSHA1 and MACTripleDES).
