I have two very large strings. How can I compare them to tell if they’re identical, or if one of them is different than the other? (That way I can leave the identical strings alone and process the ones that have changed).

You could compare hash values, or create a wrapper class containing the string in question and a “changed” flag that is set to
trueeach time the string is altered.
