Re: Code Compare starts very slow, normal?

I'm surprised this issue is still outstanding after years of reports.

I'm having this exact issue with CC 5.3 / VS 2019 1.10. I have a higher end developer machine and everything else works nearly instantaniously except compares. What I'm experiencing is, if I reboot, the first handful of compares are speedy as expected, but the longer my system is running, the slower they get. The last one I ran took 5 minutes (yes *minutes*) to run on a very small file. I have the setting turned on to not close CC and minimize it to the system tray. I launch all of my comparisons from inside VS which opens CC in its own UI. Interestingly enough, if the files are identical, the compare is nearly instant with the popup saying they are the same. Something is happening once the file is loaded for an actual compare if they are different and its something that gets worse over time.
