We should allow the user to turn off the structured comparison feature. For
those who don't use it, it only serves to gobble up CPU cycles.

We use the DiffTreeViewer, which is from the compare framework. Moving to
compare, as such a setting would be implemented by them. (Note that you get the
same structured comparison when using Compare With Each Other, so it's not just
a matter of us implementing our own tree viewer to get rid of this behaviour).

Andre, is such a setting possible?

There is a new option on the preference page.
