There's a lot of processing that takes place for a diff to generate the side-by-side view, and nearly all of it takes longer for larger files. Something on the order of 10MB is just going to be slow. You may have better performance on a Linux install. Windows, in the case of Python webapps, tends to be slower. In the case of patch.exe, do you find that it ever finishes? If not, it may be related to another bug we've recently fixed. Though, it'll still be slow given the file size, as patch is just the first part of this.
