    <TD width="58%" align="left" valign="top"> Use this option to compare contents 
      for changed files found when comparing CVS resources. Usually, time stamps 
      are used to compare CVS files, and this is by far the fastest method. However, 
      in some cases a more accurate comparison can be achieved by comparing file 
      content. Disabling this option will speed up comparisons but may result 
      in compare entries whose contents are the same. This option only applies 
      to comparisons and merges but not Workspace synchronizations.</TD>
