I guess this copying is what store calls 'fast comparison'.

Fast comparison probably meaning something like "the image knows it all
in some changeset so it doesn't need to compare to info in the DB".

Where 'some changeset' is associated with the DB package - it will be
initialized empty when the package is loaded (or published) and
accumulate relevant changes during development.


Do you get different results if you turn 'fast comparison' off in the VW
settings for Store? (so it actually compares two sets of code instead of
relying on changes cached in some changeset).

I don't know what either of you means. When you reconcile with the database, it will compare the package in the image to what's in the database and set the changeset to the differences between the two. There is no changeSet in the database. If you reconcile it and the package gets marked as changed, that's because the package in the image is different from the one in the database.

It's been a while since I looked, but I'm pretty sure that the Fast Comparison setting in Store refers only to publishing. It tells it whether to rely on the change set information in the image, or whether to do a reconcile before publishing. The Help for that setting in the settings tool also seems to agree with that. If you reconcile, Fast Comparison is irrelevant, you're forcing a reconcile.
