A binary file comparison doesn't take that long, I don't personally know if
it's faster or slower than generating a checksum and comparing it to another
checksum though.
I like the idea with the OGG naming, it should prevent lots of problems.
Perhaps when we add an OGG profile management dialog menu, we can let users
rename the profile (ie. from profile2 to drums), and it would rename the OGG
accordingly. Does Allegro really not have a file rename function though? It
seems wasteful to have to do a copy operation just to be able to rename..

Allegro has no rename function.
A checksum is definitely faster (assuming we are talking about a basic checksum
and not an MD5) because you are only reading the bytes of the file the first
time it is loaded. Afterwards you are just referencing the file by the checksum
which is stored in RAM. Binary compare is probably good enough, though.
The ability to rename profiles sounds nice. It might also be a good idea to
allow some comments to be added to a profile in the proposed new project format.

Perhaps a rename utility (which calls a platform specific system command) could
be rigged to rename a file?
