We blow the javascript call stack and renders the page interactions useless.

If this happens because we're attaching events to each line of large files, we might start by looking at jQuery.on, which will attach the events to ancestor nodes.

This is already documented in #220 (it's the first case). The fact that we've had this issue come up so many times (I think I've closed this ticket as a dup about 4 times now) indicates how important it is for us to address this quickly.

@dmacdougall that's a good point -- we should be doing that anyway, and even if that won't fix really massive diffs (which we shouldn't try to load onto the page anyway) it will be a good start.
