By comparison being easier, I mean you can compare the byte array directly
without deserializing it into objects, if the array type matches. The reason is
that you'll be comparing the elements first, rather than the header
information. The only time you'd get to the header information is when the
arrays are equal (otherwise the comparison would end earlier), in which case,
the headers will be the same as well. The is way faster than deserializing each
element into an object first.
