I didn't see the option for a CRC vs the binary check. I'm not sure if it would be significantly faster or not.
I assume the plugin already uses the most efficient way, without offering options.

On second thought, that probably is hashes already -- you are comparing a whole bunch of files to every other file in the group, comparing a checksum is easier than reading the same files again and again.
