Python's difflib re-implements diff, instead of driving a diff
subprocess. Maybe these numbers would be somewhat better if we were
calling out to a subprocess, though Greg points out that the degree of
improvement would be system-dependent.

You know what I'm thinking? This might be best solved with C program
that uses Sander's internal diff library...
