Wouldn't diff be faster because it doesn't have to read to the end of
every file and
it isn't really calculating anything? Or am I looking at this in the

Fast was not communicated as requirement, albeit md5 algo works by design "fast" and it was asked to "to compare file hashes". Nevertheless I also use diff to compare. It depends on your needs ...

I did end up using diff which seemed to work well.
