Description Edward Lam CLA 2002-02-06 15:18:24 EST 
Occurs on: 20020129
Whitespace compare was turned off.

File level compare on .java files takes a lot longer than maybe it should.
On example files (~7000 lines) the compare takes > 30 seconds, then fails.

On Visual SourceSafe, the diff takes < 1 second.
