Abord binary file compare as soon as a bit deviates?

Does Dup Cleaner do this?
I've moved to a NAS now and I'd like to avoid stressing the drive too much, if I've got 2x500mb files, identical for the first 25mb but then a single bit deviates, does it break the process and move to the next file for efficiency?

(I'd suspect it does but I wanted to confirm)

Cheers.

Yep, this is how it works in byte mode. It reads from the start of the files and drops out as non-duplicate once the two bits differ.

Thanks, that's how it should work :)
