Good to know you've drilled down that far - I stopped as soon as I hit
Kid.
But I still think that for large revisions the complete content of the
page is too big to serve quickly, even if you can render the page much
faster than Kid does at the moment.
e.g. I did some refactoring of a project recently and the revision
page for that ends up being over 5MB.  I tend not to look at that page
often (not that I could if I wanted to).

Cheers,
Kent.
