By using copyBuffer we avoid a buffer allocation for each block we hash,
and by allocating space for the hashes up front we get one large backing
array instead of a small one for each block. For a 17 MiB file this
makes quite a difference in the amount of memory allocated:
benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
BenchmarkHashFile-8 102045110 100459158 -1.55%
benchmark old allocs new allocs delta
BenchmarkHashFile-8 415 144 -65.30%
benchmark old bytes new bytes delta
