Re: [PATCH 0/3] gitk: memory consumption improvements

Considering that each line is inserted seperately, this piles up a huuuge undo stack ... for a read-only text widget. Simply turning off this undo manager saves about 95% of memory when viewing large commits (with tens of thousands of diff lines).
