ExamDiff Pro v3.3 (trial) is still very slow and memory hungry when comparing binary files.

Scrolling panes in binary mode, is extremely slow even when comparing identical files.

The problem with memory is even worst. I've tried to compare two identical 70MB binary files but ExamDiff hangs and ...

Thank you

Navigation keys work again in latest build.

This is the first reason i like ...

I plan to switch to ExamDiff Pro from BC. Each applications has its own pros & cons. There is something i'll really miss in EDP, a file touching feature in folder comparison context menu.

In Options/Binary i used same editor for binary files, but ...
