Not sure this is a bug. It can be called an area for improvement at least.
When you compere two folders and select 'By Content', it compares files by content to call it equal or not-equal
When two files have different sizes, it still compare their contents while this is not necessary because the result is always expected to be unequal.

Not confirmed.
I've put some large files with same names but another contents and size into another dir (total size 21 GB), and comparison have been finished immediately.
Also I've copied some large file to another dir and appended 3 zero bytes to the copy (6 GB file with only 3 extra bytes at the end of one file), and again comparison have been finished immediately.
