A few of the commands manage to use diffs to quickly produce the whole
file. Please can more of them do it?
"Compare with working copy" and "Update item to revision" are quick
(revision).
"Save revision to..." is quick when clicking on a revision but slow when
clicking on a file.
"Compare with previous revision" and "Compare revisions" are slow (1 or 2
revisions).
"Show changes" is slow (file).
"Show changes as unified diff" is quick when clicking on 1 or 2 revisions
(top panel) but slow when clicking on a file (bottom panel).
