buffer-crc32 is substantially slower than node-crc because it converts the CRC itself to and from a length-1 buffer on every update. In a benchmark with
crc32stream.write(<a 2 MB buffer>)
(single invocation of the CRC function), node-crc is 10 ms / 37% faster than buffer-crc32. In another benchmark writing a 1KB buffer 1000x, node-crc was 62% faster.
