<br>
actually, I would like to store the timestamp in all its details. ;-) Just<br>
like Monticello does.<br>
<br>
In my case, I wanted to quickly find out, which version is actually loaded<br>
in the image. In my environment, I filter-out all those duplicate entries in<br>
the changes file that occur when loading an older version:<br>

<br>
And show them like this:<br>

Yes, you don't see seconds there, but at least the comparison is accurate<br>
now. Milliseconds would be welcome, too. :-D<br>
<br>
So, comparing hashes of CompiledMethods provides too many false positives<br>
(samples only ~20 bytes). Comparing the full source strings is too slow...<br>
:-) ...and not necessary because the timestamps are there anyway.<br>
