Multithreading for XOR tool

The XOR tool now can make use of multi-CPU architectures by using multiple threads for tiles and layers. The number of threads can be specified on the XOR tool dialog.

Diff tool performance enhancements.

The diff tool now uses a different scheme to identify identical cells. This algorithm is based on a signature and is much faster the the previous algorithm which was based on instance identity.
