It's in 2014...

The task manager I've seen does this very inefficiently (it could have been an older version). It calculates the clone crc every time it iterates over the possible clone names:
For each VI
For x = 1 to n
calculate crc
ref = crc + x
The crc doesn't change, it's only input is the VI name...
For each VI
calculate crc
For x = 1 to n
ref = crc + x
Just a hint. It will be hundreds of times faster.
Note that this is unsupported although it works. It might very well change in future versions of LV (NXG for sure).

Thanks ww.brown,
I went with the hash you posted. I use the clone VI's Front Panel Window: Title property to uniquely configure and subsequently select the clone instance I want to automate.
Thanks to all who posted.
