In summary: the diff is computed locally in javascript, and seems to

with 100k+ lines, they take many minutes to finish.


IOW: The 2 versions being diff'd are downloaded in total before doing a
local compare ?

It seems so; however it doesn't appear to be the bandwidth that's the
problem, but the actual diff algorithm. The bottleneck is definitely
CPU.

If so, UGH ....
