I am also hitting this, see my comment at the bottom of [1].

In summary: the diff is computed locally in javascript, and seems to
be worse than O(n) on the size of the underlying file; viewing the
diff for any file >1k lines may be slow, but if you just let it run it
will finish eventually. Avoid epan/enterprise-numbers and other files
with 100k+ lines, they take many minutes to finish.

I *think* it's a Gerrit bug, given that it seems to happen across many browsers.

I believe it's parsed markdown/wiki style - single linebreaks are
removed, but doubled ones are preserved.
