With "not so often" I meant program runtime: it is usually not called in a

I have a program that does exactly that... Loads files to do CRC
checking to see what changed. It's a recursive find-all that goes
through 100k or more files. It's already a slow process on non-SSD
drives processing 12GB or more of data, so adding the multiple
unnecessary string conversions which will be enforced on Linux users
would make that even worse.
IMO string conversion and CRC are mutually exclusive.
