[LRUG] Diffing Strings

Hola El Rug,

I'm currently using htmldiff [1] to diff strings (versions of a document) in my webapp, much as Writeboard diffs different versions of a document.  htmldiff does exactly what I want...but unfortunately when the two strings are long, say 5000 words, it takes several minutes to complete.

Can anybody suggest either a faster library or how I might speed up htmldiff?

Thanks and regards,

Andy Stewart
