FileBackedHashSetT Constructor

GSF.Collections.FileBackedHashSet = function();

This constructor uses the default equality comparer for file backed lookup tables, which is not the same as the default equality comparer for T objects. This is because the default implementation of GetHashCode does not provide guarantees about consistency across platforms, or even implementations of the CLR. Instead, the default equality comparer uses a byte-for-byte comparison to determine equality between keys and a CRC-32 for its hash code implementation. This means the performance of the hashing function is dependent on the performance of the serialization function.
