The Process class exposes the stdout stream directly, so you should be able to read it at whatever pace you like. It's probably best to read it in small chunks and avoid calling ReadToEnd.

For example:

using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(myProcess.StandardOutput))
{
  string line;
  while((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
  {
    // do something with line
  }
}
