linematch:{n} Align and mark changes between the most
similar lines between the buffers. When the
total number of lines in the diff hunk exceeds
{n}, the lines will not be aligned because for
very large diff hunks there will be a
noticeable lag. A reasonable setting is
"linematch:60", as this will enable alignment
for a 2 buffer diff hunk of 30 lines each,
or a 3 buffer diff hunk of 20 lines each.

linematch:{n} Enable a second stage diff on each generated

second stage diff will not be performed as
very large hunks can cause noticeable lag. A
recommended setting is "linematch:60", as this
will enable alignment for a 2 buffer diff with
hunks of up to 30 lines each, or a 3 buffer
diff with hunks of up to 20 lines each.
