We can set it on client, sha256 is still supported.
SHA-512 seems somewhat faster on 64-bit processors:
name old time/op new time/op delta
Transformer/small-8 72.4µs ±16% 68.4µs ±12% ~ (p=0.156 n=9+10)
Transformer/big-8 1.36s ± 8% 0.96s ± 6% -29.27% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
We could benchmark, and, if it makes sense, support another checksum.
