Hash Tool, should pad ms to 3 places.
Hash Tool shows the time it takes to compute a hash.
Though if the ms are <100, only to places are displayed.
So you might get something like
02:01:00.10
and something like
02:01:00.900
When you're comparing, in your mind, that lack of a placeholder makes a difference, & the extra 0, make you say, ah!
02:01:00.010

"40" is "better then" "109"
40 is faster then 109
easily apparanent because both are padded to 3 digits
but if it read as:
TimeThis : Elapsed Time : 00:00:00.40
that can lead to confusion
