I could work something in. I likely solve for this by introducing options into the web tool. These options would allow a user to specify a maximum size of input and a separate option for maximum number of differences. If the max input size is exceeded the tool would throw a warning. If the maximum number of differences is exceeded then return prematurely with the differences so far. I would not likely expose these options to command line APIs since this would disrupt automation in an environment where execution duration is less observed.

Subject: [Pretty Diff] Are there plans to support huge very different documents?
Currently, when you have 2 different and very long documents, prettydiff just hangs your browser. Are there plans to timeout after a while and just say "hey, these are too different/too long"?
