Description Darin Swanson

I have a large file in Ant land that I have made many changes to recently.
If you attempt to do a "Compare with" between versions of 
org.eclipse.ant.ui/Ant Editor/anttasks_1.6.0.xml. I was comparing revision 1.3 
and 1.2 of this file.


The mem usage for Eclipse shoots way up and if you wait a while before 
cancelling, Eclipse becomes unresponsive (could not cancel or get details from 
the progress dialog, eclipse stopped repainting etc.). 
After quite a period of time Eclipse came back to life.
