IIRC streaming only manages to run in constant space when encrypting,
decryption still buffers the entire result in memory.
-stream -indef -noindef
The -stream and -indef options are equivalent and enable streaming
I/O for encoding operations. This permits single pass processing of
--------------------
data without the need to hold the entire contents in memory,
potentially supporting very large files. Streaming is automatically
set for S/MIME signing with detached data if the output format is
SMIME it is currently off by default for all other operations.

The -stream and -indef options enable streaming I/O support. As a
result the encoding is BER using indefinite length constructed encoding
--------
and no longer DER. Streaming is supported for the -encrypt operation
------------------
and the -sign operation if the content is not detached.
