That isn't what I was referring to, the signature mechanisms are using the
digests internally. So the 1Gb file will go through once. But the proof of
correctness for the signature algorithm itself requires internal digest
I know. The speed of the hash algorithm is not an issue here, though.
The only issue would be whether the extra code size required for a
different hash algorithm than for what is used as part of the signature
algorithm (SHA-256 for bulk, SHA-512 for EdDSA) is a matter of concern.
