Yes, I was thinking something like a interlaced gif. Load 10 equally
spaced revisions, and deltas between them. Then 100, then 1000 etc.
This would greatly increase the total load time, because it will do
alot more deltas than there are revisions, and will probably have load
the inventories more than once due to memory constraints, but this
would show useful info fast.
