Checksums only for files in conflict

Product suggestion (unless it's already there of course):

I'm having a problem where the files copied from my computer to the backup system are often copied again on next run even though they haven't changed. I can only assume this is a timestamp issue or something, but I was thinking hashes would fix this.

I know Syncback already does hashing if you choose, but it would take years to calculate hashes on my stuff (I checked... it was literally faster to copy everything than to wait for the hashing algorithm).

Can't Syncback do a scan and then only hash files that are about to be copied, then NOT copy the ones that first seemed different, but after hashing show that they're NOT?
