> I've got two OpenOffice XML files here, each about 9 megs in size.  The second file was produced by simply adding a "2" to the beginning of every third line (...we used  a tiny python script to do the transform.)
> When I compare the two files using GNU diff, it takes 14 seconds.
> When I compare the two files using libsvn_diff, it never finishes... or rather, I killed the process after 20 minutes when I noticed the memory footprint had grown to 128megs and was still growing.  The footprint was only ~20 megs for the
> first 10 minutes, which is expected behavior (about 2x the size of the file), but I have no idea why the footprint started growing after that.
> I'm using the subversion/tests/libsvn_diff/diff-test binary, by the way.
> I'm attaching the two XML files to this mail for people to reproduce.
> Sander, any idea what's going on?  I know that libsvn_diff is sometimes a *bit* slower than gdiff, but this scenario seems way out of whack.  Cmpilato and I discovered this bug when a Collabnet customer attempted to run 'svn merge':  the
> client started running svn_diff_diff3() on two 8 meg XML files similar to this one (with a similar density of changed lines)... and after 20 minutes, the server just timed-out and closed the socket... presumably because the socket filled up with the REPORT response and the client stopped reading from it.
> Anyway, I hope this is a simple bug in libsvn_diff...
