When validating an input (that it spends an unspent output) we do not need to re-hash the features+commit and compare against the hash in the output MMR.
We can simply compare the OutputIdentifier (features+commit) directly.
Comparing 32 bytes of a commitment will be cheaper than hashing the commitment and then comparing 32 bytes of the resulting hash.
Reading the commitment from the data file will be no more expensive than reading the hash from the hash file.
Implement
From<Input> for OutputIdentifier
