Richard,

these are hard words.

1) The diff is announced _loudly_ in the dict.
2) setting the paintcompression to RLE can speed up significantly in
most cases. More than 16GB of RAM and huge GPUs are not from the time
when this was introduced (when you was a young boy with curly hair).

They choose simply the faster one for the standalone. And there are not
this much cases where the diff has such a negative effect like for Peter R.
