Description
Created attachment 349895 Example file (before)
Between Meld 1.8.6 and 3.17.1, I found that it takes much longer to process certain big files. With the example files I attached, it takes 2-3 seconds to load, whereas with 3.17.1, it takes about 20 seconds.
I have disabled syntax highlighting in 3.17.1 to see if it would make a difference, but I didn't see a difference.
