What has this to do with how fast it runs? |

That's what its author chose as the default. You could file a bug report. |

You were not talking about xxdiff, you wrote that cfg-update was slow. |

What exactly are you talking about, cfg-update or the diff tool you told it to |

use? |

Just doing the automatic stuff, where no user intervention is involved _is_ |

blazingly fast. How fast you are in running the diff/merge tool of _your_ |
