FWIW, I did profiling some time ago and an important part of the time was spent in push/pop (new/delete) of iterators in vectors. I suspect that doing a reserve(5) on these vectors (or whatever a good default value is) would make Compare snappier. But of course, word-level diff might bring more. I think that when comparing Curstomization.lyx between trunk and branch I saw parts that did not make sense, but I do not have it any more, so I would have to retest. JMarc
