Attached. Note that the .sql file is trimmed down so it isn't actually valid mysql anymore, but in this case that doesn't really matter.
As you scroll down with TortoiseMerge (you can just copy the file and diff it with itself), you'll see it start to lockup below line 300, getting even worse the further you proceed ("worse" in regards to how long it takes to recover from the "freeze").
I believe the issue has something to do with repainting/invalidating, as simply dragging a window around atop TortoiseMerge when it's scrolled to one of these "long-line regions" causes it to repaint visibly slowly, and its CPU usage spikes. Note that you can open the file in i.e. Wordpad and scroll all the way up and down without a hiccup.

It would be even more straightforward if you could mail a sample file
that exhibits the problem, otherwise we have to try to guess your
definition of "reasonable length", "very long lines" and "some large
database rows".
Soon would be good as another release is due out this weekend.
