The curent patch is 1.2MB for SHA-3 - that's pretty heavy for just a few hash functions, which aren't in any wide spread use yet and probably won't be for quite a few years ahead. Oh wow, it's so fat? Why is it so big? Can't we use a lighter version?

The stark majority of the patch is Lib/test/vectors/sha3_224.txt, which seems to be (as the file path implies) just test data. A whopping >1k LOC of really long hashes.
